Speculation has been brewing, as it does every time that NHL players are headed to the Olympics, about what Blues will be selected to an Olympic team. Doug Armstrong, GM of the Blues, is also the general manager of Team Canada, and he’s selected his own NHL players for the national team in the past. He’s helped Alex Pietrangelo and Jay Bouwmeester win gold medals in 2014.
This year’s Blues team may not have a ton of candidates for the Olympics for any team, but Doug Armstrong will always be Doug Armstrong. Canadian talent runs deep, and if he can work one of his current players onto that roster, he will.
