[Brian O’Reilly (Ryan’s dad)] Je tiens à remercier tout St Louis, en particulier Doug Armstrong. Je respecte vraiment le fait qu’il place les besoins du plus grand nombre avant les besoins de quelques-uns. C’est un homme attentionné et solidaire qui fait ce qu’il y a de mieux pour le blues. Je respecte ça! C’est un bon GM compatissant !
I want to thank all of St Louis especially Doug Armstrong. I really respect the fact that he puts the needs of the many ahead of the needs of the few. He is a caring, supportive man who’s doing what is best for the blues. I respect that! He’s a good, compassionate GM!

In the end, Doug came to Ryan and asked him what location he would ultimately like to end up at. Being an Ontario boy, the leafs weren’t a hard choice. Now we’ll never know if there were other comparable offers, but it is a nice showing of our GM, big dick Doug!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think what’s impressive about this trade is that Army didn’t just do what was best for the player, he also got a massive haul in return. His ability to accommodate both needs at the same time is one of many things that separate the good GMs from the great ones.
Good comment, Granddad. Already miss him
Can’t help but smile through the tears. You will always have a home in STL, O’Reillly family!
Or the one.
