Who Is The Blues Gm? Meet Doug Armstrong

The St. Louis Blues have a plan in place for the future of their hockey team, and it involves Alexander Steen. He was recently named Special Assistant to General Manager Doug Armstrong, and the plan is for him to take over the position in 2026. This makes him the first Swedish NHL General Manager in history. It’s exciting to see a former player like Steen take on this leadership role, and we can expect a smooth transition as he learns from Armstrong before stepping into the big seat.

Steen, a veteran of 13 NHL seasons, played for the Blues for over a decade and is a fan favorite. He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the team, both on and off the ice. In addition to his on-ice talent, Steen was known for his leadership and strong work ethic. He was a crucial part of the Blues’ 2019 Stanley Cup championship team, and his leadership will be vital as he prepares for the GM role. Steen has already begun his transition into the role, working closely with Armstrong to learn the ins and outs of running a hockey team. The Blues have a strong foundation, and with Steen at the helm, the future looks bright for the team. He has a great understanding of the team, the league, and the city of St. Louis. As he begins his transition, fans can expect to see him more and more in the front office and during team functions.
