Pro sports is becoming predictable and boring
Not butthurt by the Petro situation, but the Perron one still stings. Made me realize there is very little loyalty in pro sports, even though the PR departments spin a good tale.

That died for me the day Albert Pujols signed with the Angels. Since then I lost a lot of sentimentality which is probably why I understood the Perron decision and would still defend it to this day.

u realize the major reason we picked 10th and sold off last season was because of his decisions to overpay for people (Krug, Binner, Kyrou, Scandella) and then refused to sign key cogs like perron and chuckie then traded heart and soul guys like sunny. then he dumpster dived for scrubs like leivo and pitlick to fill those slots.
armstrong is reason #1 that last years team was the most unlikeable garbage team in recent blues history.

Coaching definitely played a role in how bad we were. But the roster construction was also garbage.

Binnington is an average goalie. Is he overpaid? Yes. But that’s not why the team was bad.
Kyrou, despite your claims, isn’t overpaid. He has room to improve defensively but he’s great offensively.
Scandella/Krug are the crux of the issues and have been discussed ad nauseum.
I don’t get your obsession with Lindgren. He was average with the Capitals last year. Signing him would’ve blocked any future for Hofer.
Letting Perron walk and not having someone capable of replacing him defensively exacerbated the flaws.
I think the roster was and still is flawed, but it shouldn’t be as bad as last year. I am skeptical of how good the defense can be if no improvements are brought in and the forwards’ defensive play is still crap.

Agree. Or at least rename it The Doug Armstrong Report Card. The thread title is inaccurate and not subject to debate.
Do you think they don't talk enough or to much? If it's to much how do you think someone in between will stop them from having shit to say to each other?
The best groups at the highest level operate and vote in 3’s and there are reasons for this. Army needs it and so does Stillman.

Army is 1 of maybe 3 to 5 people who should be allowed to operate as both President of Hockey Ops and GM.
They got a few consultants there, right? I’m sure Army uses all his resources.

Ftfy. Now both points are both accurate and correct.

I mean, the guy that assembles the team will always ultimately bear responsibility. Contracts and the team's long-term financial health overrode the unrealistic "opportunity" to win last year. Armstrong does not allow players to hamstring the franchise and yes, we can armchair the Petro situation all we want, but that's an outlier. Armstrong brought us a Cup four short years ago, and that buys him all the time he deserves within reason.

Honest question. What has Bill done to be considered a better GM than Doug?
