If you thought St. Louis Blues general manager Armstrong was a real-life wizard after trading for and extending Justin Faulk, then those suspicions may have just been confirmed after the team announced an eight-year extension for Brayden Schenn.
We rallied behind the concept of Armstrong being the best in the league early this offseason, and even though this move doesn’t count toward an offseason move, I think it is safe to say that for the second-straight year, the Blues won the summer.
You can already hand over the GM of The Year award and send it to 14th and Clark, because Army pulled a rabbit out of his hat once again and it sets up the team for more long term success.
