Top 5 Moves of the Army GM Era

[DIAMONDINTHEROUGH]

It's not a top 5 move. But I was looking up some old Blues rosters. And Armstrong gave up nothing to get Elliot. I was shocked to see he had years of .940 and .930 save percentages. He also had a couple of other good years before he was traded for 2 draft picks. One that ended up being Kyrou.

Didn't Petro choose Vegas because of the weird contract he signed. $31m signing bonus guaranteed? The Blues couldn't match that.

I believe that you are correct.
It is a business. Business is tough. Working capital is important. Difficult decisions have to be made. Depth and balance is critical for franchises in this particular business.
Looking forward is essential.

I think you look back at the decision to let Petro walk of all the things said and not said. Armstrong regrets that the most. I also think that Petro didn't want to leave. Armstrong has stated that he won't talk about it until after both he and Petro are retired.

Petro chose to leave the money was the same just not all up front and NMC was not going to happen.
