1. Good for Army. He deserves it. People hate on him in this sub because the team is struggling and he’s the easiest one to blame, but there is a reason why he’s consistently chosen for these kinds of things. He’s a great GM.

2. Go get that third gold medal Doug

3. He doesn’t have to hand out contracts in that gig so he’ll be great

4. Deserved, some of our “fans” like to rag on him. But overall he’s been a great GM. We have a bright future (probably the best prospect pool in the NHL) and it’s great to see him representing us in the Olympics.

   Go TEAM USA though 💪

5. Y’all think Binnington is gonna be his choice for goaltender? r/hockey has been up in arms against that proclamation.

6. B-b-but Armstrong was never a good gm and needs to fired. How could he named GM of the best hockey nation in the world?

7. Good for him, I’m also pretty sure that a 12-year-old playing NHL 24 can put together a team Canada roster that can win a tournament

8. Blues ‘fans’ everywhere screaming and wondering how such an ‘awful’ GM could get that job.

9. I’m surprised they did pick any of the army hating geniuses on this sub

10. My rationale for whether a guy is good at his job or not is how fast would competing orgs pick them up if they were available. There’s only a handful of nhl franchises who’s GM spot wouldn’t get really warm if DA was available.
