Uh-oh... Look at what Army is saying behind closed doors....

I don't care if we make the playoffs or not, we're not beating Colorado in the first round, so I'm listening to all these guys

What does this tell us, Sports Fans?

1. The Army mindset about the playoffs may have drastically changed from previous years.

2. Army wants to dump his core players, maybe all of them, and his core players are very aware of that now.

3. If this was really a "leak", the other NHL GMs have their long knives out for Army

4. A Desperation sale may lead to getting very little value for the players.

5. Army private thoughts match ASOGG's BluesTalk ones.

First, I want to see it directly from Lebrun, that channel in particular has no credibility. They specialize in clickbait and zero substance. Their opinion is worthless in my opinion as they have demonstrated that they are willing to maximize sensationalism over sense. Second, Army needs to be listening on almost all of those guys, if he can get quality FUTURES, at this point you unload to fortify the future. However we need to be clear on this, trades need to be for the future not hockey trades for mediocrity. Also trades should never be for the sake of movement. What you do in those actions matter more.

My apologies. I looked for a post, but the the title didn't look like any overlap.

Army didn’t say that. Not sure what he said but I can guarantee he didn’t say that

You bursted my bubble, man. I was really hoping that Army was going sane.

Lebrun on the Overdrive podcast

Right, and I think that Doug Armstrong has told other teams that about the Blues right now, that even when the Blues recently had their push, and I think they were only a point or two out of the last wild card spot in the West, which by the way, the last wild card spot in the West seems like whoever wants this is gonna back in, but I've been told by other teams that he has said, I don't care if we make the playoffs or not, we're not beating Colorado in the first round, so I'm still listening at all these guys.

It’s not a direct quote but the sentiment is probably real.

I definitely said this.

This happens sometimes. You start a season with certain expectations but if the team doesnt come close to them then you have to change strategy's and rethink your plans for the season. Theres no way Army was hoping to leave the GM position with his team in the dumpster. Might be time to sell what you can and give Steener as clean of a plate to start with as possible.

Well said. Army isn't new to this. He saw this team in 2023 and did the fire sale.
