Doug Armstrong Had A Lot To Say Today

04/29/2014 at 3:49pm EDT

Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch transcibed the meeting between GM Doug Armstrong and the media...

Q: How are you going to move forward with the goaltending for next year?

Armstrong: "I'm going to obviously let things settle in here. I'm trying to come up with a good analogy. It's like going to the dentist. The freezing is coming out and now it hurts. I'm going through that freezing coming out and it's really painful. Today is a lot harder than it was yesterday, I know that. We got to figure out a way to get better. With the goaltending, Jake Allen is going to be here next year. He’s earned the right. He’s the top American League goalie. He's got that team in the playoffs, now we're going to see how far he can take it. He will be one of two. Who his partner will be will be discussed at the appropriate time and that will be over the next few weeks. It's a two-way street with Ryan at this time. He has opportunities. I want to sit and talk to him, I want to get his feelings about our organization, how he felt about coming in, where he thinks we're at ... see if he even has any interest being a St. Louis Blue."

much more and part 2 is here. If you prefer, watch the conference below...
