Mike Johnson: “Doug, we all know players, we love after July 1, we form of we get away, we turn it off, we return to training, return to whatever we’re going to do. We’ll see in September as a GM. We all know there are not any days off. But how do you manage? Do you get a number of weeks off here? Now, can things decelerate just a little bit? Can you’re taking a break for the remaining of the summer?”
Doug Armstrong: “Yeah, Mike. Like this might be in my 21 years of managing, that is the strangest summer I’ve ever had. We’ve all of our contracts done on July 2nd. No arbitrations. Everybody’s within the fold. We’ve one player that’s still on the market. That played within the American League. And so after we signed (Pius) Suter that was pretty much put the go fishing join. And typically you will have other things that it is advisable to do that time of 12 months. We’re in a superb spot.
Blues GM Doug Armstrong Never Concerned about Losing Joel Hofer
So there’s not quite a bit really to do, except dream about what’s across the corner and prepare for it just a little bit. But I’m not an enormous make-work guy.

We don’t have that to do, and so we’ll just prepare for August to get the coaches back in here. School starts early here, so players are available in and searching forward to seeing the fellows here. But I wish, I wish I could let you know we’re working hard, but we’re really not doing an excessive amount of.”

Nonetheless, sources have indicated that while Kyrou is a talking point around some circles, the asking price is high, as they were for Jordan Binnington, Joel Hofer, and Brayden Schenn back on the NHL Trade Deadline. Plus, if the Blues were trying to move Kyrou, wouldn’t it have been done already before his no-trade clause kicked in on July 1?
