A) Offer sheets won't work.
B) Overpaying FAs won't work.
C) Trading away draft picks for good players won't work.
Teams will have plenty of funds to keep their better players.
GMs are going to completely live and die BY THE DRAFT.
It's absolutely no wonder why Army is retiring this year.
Did you ever stop to think that with the cap going up, so will salaries? Of course you didn’t.
It may take a year or two to catch up but everything will basically be the same just guys will make more.
ASSOGG apparently never took economics. This is the econ corollary to Parkinson's Law for labor absorbing time allotted. Expenses tend to rise over time to meet income, or in the pro sports arena, salaries tend to rise over time to exhaust salary cap.
No charge for the education, this time.
OMG I've barely been here since the Jets series and this guy is still at it!?! Have to respect the trollication.
Does he not realize Steen is taking over as GM soon?

Army is not leaving. He will still be pulling the strings indirectly. Army is going to make sure that "nothing changes" with how the Blues "stay competitive".

That would be great news!
What do you mean this would be great news? It’s been known for 14 months now when they announced it in June of 2024. Army is currently the GM and President of Hockey Ops. Next summer, Steen will take over the GM role and Army will stay PoHO. Steen will continue to report to Army.

This fan is evidently like many Blues fans.
They don't care to see a Crosby, Ovechkin, Federov, McDavid, or Demidov every home game. That enjoyment is fine for Pittsburg, and the other towns with lame fans. STL doesn't need that!!!! STL fans only want to see lunch pails with a thermos beside every player on the bench.

You do not speak for "They". In my lifespan as a Blues fan I've seen numerous great NHL players on the ice in a Blues uniform, dating back to Dickie Moore, Glenn Hall, and Jacques Plante. No complaints, ZERO. Get your nose out of the manure-smeared grass and smell the roses.

Many GMs still have a lot of power when it comes to making trades and managing the roster. If Steen isn’t allowed to do anything with the roster or free agency….what exactly will he be doing?
If Army is making all of the moves after this season….why hire Steen at all. The Blues should have just named Army President of Hockey Ops and not named a GM at all.
I’m just stating my opinion…and my opinion is that I don’t want Steen making any decisions really….I’d much rather have Army doing everything.

Well, this was all Army’s idea so…
He had to convince Stillman of the plan since Stillman also wanted Army to stay as GM. Steen will be the GM though. How much autonomy he’ll have, idk, but I’m guessing a fair amount. Army will still be in charge of the scouts, traveling, development etc. There was an interview Strick did a month or so ago where Stillman pretty well laid out what tasks Steen would be taking over and which Army would be keeping.

Remind us again which year Federov was a top 5 pick?
