## Resource

After nearly two decades of leadership from one of the NHL’s most respected executives, the St. Louis Blues are preparing for a new era. With Alexander Steen set to take over as General Manager following the 2025-26 season, the question becomes: Is the franchise legend ready to fill the shoes of Doug Armstrong? Armstrong built a Stanley Cup champion, guided multiple playoff teams, and helped establish the Blues as a consistent contender. Now, after years of planning and mentorship, Steen is next in line to lead the organization. On today's episode, we break down Armstrong's legacy, examine the roster and prospect pipeline he'll leave behind, and discuss whether Steen has what it takes to guide the next chapter of Blues hockey. Plus, what challenges and opportunities await the franchise as the transition officially begins?
