Hockey has to own the biggest "good 'ol boys" club in sports. Armstrongs "regard" there means little.
He's had his share of good trades, bad trades, and then the mind boggling contract extensions here of late. He is NOT a top GM by any stretch when based upon performance. Batting .800 because he landed Schenn while he had to literally dump his mistake, Lehtera in doing so? And where is our top center to lead us to the promise land? How many years now? And don't tell me Stasny, that was made clear years ago. We need to get OVER THE TOP, not hang around the top for another decade.
I like Stillman and this group he represents. They are paying the piper and trying. But that good ol boy clubby thing has to end. This roster can't keep overachieving so he can keep his job.
Marty Broduer, anyone? I'd do it because....this franchise does need a top GM and....why the fork not?
