doug armstrong "I was very impressed with his season, Now he has to go home and he has to come back in and be a player that we can count on. He left with a mandate that, 'Your name is on the board in an important spot now.'"
doug armstrong "We talked to him as soon as his (KHL) season ended about coming over, He was off a concussion. We thought about bringing him over to play this year. It just didn't work out. We've talked to him about what his plans are for the summer and next season. We'd like to have him. It's up to him whether he wants to come."

As we get closer to NHL free agency, which is now about a month and a half away, I get more and more questions from fans asking who the New Jersey Devils could target in free agency.
Today, I'll take a look at someone who realistically could end up a Devil.
That someone is St. Louis Blues forward, Andy McDonald.
The veteran winger/center...

He’s one of three right now ... he has proven to me that he deserves an opportunity to play in the NHL."

The St. Louis Blues fans are grumbling after another exit in the playoffs due to an anemic offense from the same cast of characters.
doug armstrong "I don’t see this being a huge free agency offseason for us, I see it more taking care of our own business and then seeing if we want to rearrange some of the chairs via trade, but I don’t see the player out there that’s going to really move the needle a lot in free agency."
doug armstrong "This is a public cry that for any GM that have 50-goal scorers that they want to send to St. Louis, give me a call, This doesn’t happen. You have to deal on a reality. The reality is, with free agency the way it is now, teams tie up those elusive top-end goal scorers. They draft them. (Evgeni) Malkin, (Sidney) Crosby, (Jonathan) Tavares, (Steven) Stamkos are drafted by those teams."

doug armstrong "We have players that have produced in the past that haven’t been able to get us over the hump in the playoffs, but they’re still in those prime years, I believe that the home-grown talent can produce at those times. The easiest thing is to show somebody the door. It’s foolish if you’re not bringing in somebody that’s better."

By subtracting Andy McDonald from their 2013 playoff team and starting Vladimir Tarasenko in his place, the Blues could enter the 2013-14 season with admirable offensive depth.

doug armstrong "As frustrating and disappointing, I am still excited, When I got here five years ago to where we are today, through the work of a lot of great people that are currently here and no longer here, we are moving in the right direction. We are making strides. Maybe it is difficult at this time for people to see those strides, but we were a much more competitive team this year against the L.A. Kings than we were a year ago, which is a positive."
doug armstrong "One of the things I said to the players was I have sympathy for the St. Louis fans, but the reality is the failures of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s—they don’t lie at the feet of T.J. Oshie, they don’t lie at the feet of David Backes, they don’t lie at the feet of Brian Elliott, That’s somebody else’s issue. We’re a better team now than we were two years ago and that’s the way I look at it. To live in the past and try to exorcise ghosts is irrelevant."

Ultimately we didn’t win one of the three (road) games that we had to win."
