109: Roster Building and Olympic Dreams: A Conversation with Doug Armstrong

John Shannon and Daren Millard welcome Doug Armstrong back to 100% Hockey for a wide-ranging conversation on his evolving role within the St. Louis Blues organization. Now moving from General Manager to a consulting position, Armstrong shares how the transition changes his day-to-day involvement and what his focus will be as the team reshapes for the seasons ahead.

The discussion digs into the Blues’ approach to roster construction, salary-cap management, and the balance between loyalty and flexibility in today’s NHL. Doug offers insight into how St. Louis is positioning itself in a competitive Central Division, how ticket pricing and market pressures influence team planning, and what he’s learned about sustaining success in a cap-driven league.

The conversation wraps with a look beyond St. Louis—Armstrong’s perspective on Team Canada’s Olympic plans, the contenders to watch around the league, and early predictions for teams like the Florida Panthers and Winnipeg Jets as the new season gets underway.
