So, like the team he constructed, St. Louis Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong has been named a finalist for the General Manager of the Year Award. It is given to the “general manager who best excelled at his role during the regular season.”
This might come as a shock to some Blues fans since they seem to think Armstrong is one of the worst general managers in the league. Of course, this is not specific to Blues fans. Almost every fan base in the NHL and all sports thinks their GM or president or ownership group is not doing things right or not doing enough.
