Blues fan survey results: High confidence in Doug Armstrong heading into final year as GM
ST. LOUIS — If The Athletic had posted the Blues offseason fan survey when the playoffs ended in May, there might have been more emotion involved. So we let the sting of a 4-3 double-overtime loss to the Winnipeg Jets in Game 7 simmer for a bit before asking for your votes to our 20 questions. That was the right call, because there appears to be a lot of rational thinking in the responses. Advertisement In all, nearly 1,800 subscribers participated in the survey, which is a great turnout. Thank you, and enjoy the read! Many wondered how much the Game 7 loss to Winnipeg changed the outlook of the season, and now after some reflection, we have our answer. The majority of you were still impressed (51.3 percent), while the number of those left disappointed was slightly less (45.3 percent). Now I'm curious what the percentages would have been if the Blues had beaten Winnipeg and lost to Dallas in the second round. Maybe 80-90 percent? There were a lot of good options, and when I put together my rankings, I chose the hiring of Jim Montgomery. Part of the reason I went with Montgomery was because he signed a five-year contract and touches the entire organization, while Holloway and Broberg have one season left on their contracts and occupy a couple of roster spots. But I can make a case for Holloway and Broberg, who could be re-signed, being the right answer. It's crazy to think that in Year 15 of a general manager's career in the same city, more than half of the voters awarded him a perfect 5. In fact, Armstrong got a 4 or better from 95 percent of voters, which is the highest grade he's received outside of the 2018-19 Stanley Cup season. It's more than justified with the quantity and quality of strong moves he made, putting the Blues in position to return to the playoffs. As someone who's covered Steen since he came to St. Louis in 2008, I believe he'll do well because he's a hard worker and drips hockey knowledge. But I cherish honesty and the results show fans being honest, with slightly more voters voicing skepticism (16.7 percent) than those saying he'll do a great job (14.2 percent). That said, Steen has a lot of fans in his corner, with the majority (65.8 percent) saying they'll be supportive. After the seasons Holloway and Broberg had, most agreed keeping them in the fold is No. 1. The rest of the results are interesting. For a team that needs a center, I would've thought that option would've won more heavily than it did over trading Justin Faulk and/or Nick Leddy (28.1 to 25 percent). I also would've thought the vocal group of fans wanting to trade Jordan Kyrou would've been, well, more vocal (5.5 percent). I don't really agree with the results on the contracts for Holloway or Broberg. I understand the desire to play it safe and have them prove a little more, but I think we saw enough to know that they're going to be in the league for a long time. So if you can get them signed to maximum eight-year extensions for $1 million more AAV ($7-8 million), that would've been my choice. Advertisement For Broberg in particular, the Blues have been looking for a lanky, left-shot defenseman who can skate for a long time, and they finally found him — and he's only 23 years old. Sure, Armstrong has handcuffed himself with a few long-term deals to Justin Faulk, Torey Krug and Nick Leddy, but mainly because they were older. That's not the situation here. What if Blues fans were asked about signing an unnamed player who had 100-plus points last season? I wonder how much of the resounding result (77.3 percent) is the fact that the Toronto Maple Leafs have underachieved for years as a team and Marner has been a focal point of that. I'm not saying that's the reason — there's also damning video evidence of him not being the grittiest at playoff time and a projected $13 million AAV. With the way Bennett has played for Florida this postseason, I figured he would win in a landslide. But while he did receive the highest total (39.1 percent), he will also likely be overpaid in free agency with a long-term deal will take him into his mid-30s. Thus, a lot of votes came in for Tavares, Granlund or Suter, who can add needed depth up the middle at a more reasonable cost. I figured this would be a high number, but wow! This offseason, Pittsburgh's Mike Sullivan and Vancouver's Rick Tocchet become available, and yet 93.5 percent of voters are thrilled with Montgomery. I feel like even if the Blues had missed the playoffs, the percentage of fans behind Montgomery still would've been high, but certainly he helped his cause. It'll be interesting to see what he can do with a full training camp. I reported in a recent mailbag that it could take until after the Stanley Cup Final before we know whether the Blues' entire coaching staff will be back. There might be other opportunities for some, but again, we'll know soon. In the meantime, we asked fans who should return, and Ott, an assistant for eight seasons, got the most support. David Alexander, who's worked wonders with the goalies, was deservedly next. Thomas didn't get much love from the Selke Trophy voters, finishing 21st behind Buffalo's Alex Tuch (15th), Minnesota's Marcus Foligno (16th) and LA's Phillip Danault (17th). Two things: First, he missed 12 games and full-season numbers would've helped. Second, he's still just 25 years old, and with the Blues missing the playoffs two of the last three seasons, it's difficult to get attention. But Blues fans have spoken. I figured with Buchnevich's role in the Game 7 collapse against Winnipeg, being partly responsible for one of the six-on-five goals against, that there might've been more criticism of the contract. But I've got to give credit to fans for their level-headed reaction — again, that's why we let the end-of-the-season emotion dissipate — in giving him the benefit of any doubt. Some fans are still concerned, but not as many as maybe expected. Fowler was mighty impressive in his 51 regular-season games with the Blues, registering nine goals and 36 points. He was equally impressive on the top defensive pairing with Colton Parayko, and they could be formidable again in what is scheduled to be the final season of Fowler's contract in 2025-26. I thought Blues fans might pick a two-year extension for the 33-year-old, but with the way Fowler skates, three doesn't seem far-fetched. Fans fell in love with the Blues' fourth line and Faksa in particular. He's a low-maintenance glue guy and assuming he wants to return, he'd come reasonably inexpensive, too. Armstrong said in his end-of-the-year press conference that the Blues have interest in re-signing the 31-year-old, so fans may get their wish. Meanwhile, Ryan Suter was a steady and reliable player, but now at 40 years old, there are likely better options. This was a hot question after Binnington led Team Canada to the 4 Nations Face-Off gold medal in March. Since then, Binnington and the Blues showed everyone with their surprising trip to the playoffs that they may be further along the road to contention than people think, and moving Binnington would limit their chances of staying at the highest level. I think the number of people against the idea of exploring a trade (81.9 percent) is well higher than it would've been midseason. It's almost an unfair question because Blues fans only got to see Dvorsky play two games, and unless you traveled to Springfield, Mass., they didn't see Stenberg play at all. However, there's no way you could've watched Snuggerud down the stretch and in the playoffs and not picked him. People have been waiting since he was drafted in the first round in 2022 to see his shot, and after a sneak peek, it'll be on a full-time basis next season. A lot of credit goes to Armstrong, but the ownership group led by chairman Tom Stillman make it possible. They spent to the $88 million salary cap and beyond in 2024-25 if you count the injured players. And when Armstrong makes a decision like firing Drew Bannister and hiring Montgomery, thus having two coaches on the payroll, it's Stillman who must approve. Fans are critical of owners in many cities, so the 'A' speaks volumes. With a few questions, we like to look ahead, and whether the Blues will make the playoffs is always a popular one. Remember when Armstrong admitted a couple of seasons ago that he didn't expect the team to finish too high in the standings? Fans loved the honesty. So after a season in which the Blues ended up in the second wild-card, where will they end up? The sentiment from voters — excluding Armstrong — is that No. 3 in the Central is possible. Finally, we'll wrap up with one that gives context to the fans who are casting these votes. Just because someone goes to a lot of games doesn't make them any more knowledgeable than someone who watches every game from their comfy couch, but it does provide some insight as to who's putting their ticket dollars behind their opinions. I feel with the percentage of voters who are attending at least one game, we have good representation. (Photo of Dylan Holloway: Steph Chambers / Getty Images)

From Pennington to Sauce: Who makes the cut for my Jets All-21st century team
We are now a quarter of the way into the 21st century. It has been a disappointing first 25 seasons for the Jets in this century. It started off fairly strong with six trips to the playoffs in the first 11 seasons, including two AFC Championship Games. Then, the drought hit. Advertisement We are now staring at 14 seasons without a playoff appearance for the Jets. It is a cloud that hovers over the organization, even as they start fresh with Aaron Glenn as the head coach. The playoff drought is always there and never far from the psyche of the Jets.

‘Rejuvenated' Davante Adams developing rapport with Matthew Stafford, Sean McVay
LOS ANGELES — After a head-turning day of practice on Tuesday, new Los Angeles Rams receiver Davante Adams took the podium and said he feels 'rejuventated.' 'It's been exactly what I needed,' said Adams, who the Rams signed this spring to a two-year, $46 million deal following a tumultuous 2024. Adams was traded from Las Vegas to the New York Jets last season, then released as the Jets overhauled their coaching staff and part of their roster. 'Really enjoying the time with the guys and getting to know them, getting on the same page with Matthew (Stafford) and just kind of jelling with the whole team right now.' Advertisement Adams, a three-time All Pro coming off a fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season despite transitions from Green Bay (where he played eight seasons) to Las Vegas to about half a season in New York, said he feels like he's been a part of the Rams for multiple seasons already because of 'how open and receptive' teammates and coaches have been. 'It's supposed to be a kids' game,' he said. '(Here) it kind of feels like Pop Warner, high school, college ball all over again. That's exactly what this team feels like in the best way possible. … 'I feel like this is what I needed just based off the vibe and the aura of the building. Everybody is in a good mood, it's not like a dark cloud over the building. I've experienced that quite a bit over the last few years. It's a glaring difference when you come into a building like this.' 'What I think is really cool to be able to witness, is the respect that you can feel they have for one another.' 🎙️ Coach McVay on the connection between Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams. — Los Angeles Rams (@RamsNFL) June 10, 2025 The Rams will hold a minicamp with limited on-field work next week in Maui before breaking for the summer. Adams has used the organized team activities (OTAs) over the last few weeks to develop his chemistry with Stafford, head coach Sean McVay and his new Rams teammates. Tuesday, Adams impressed. For years, he has had the reputation of getting open quickly and creating space throughout the course of a route between himself and a defender in a variety of ways. Whether from the slot — Adams hit a defender with a hip flip in tight space in the middle of the field and Stafford threw him a pass right as he got open and pivoted the opposite direction — or the perimeter, Adams had a high-volume workload and showed a brief glimpse at the potential of his role in the offense this year. Advertisement Stafford has also long been known for his creative play, working different arm angles and capitalizing on defenders' mistakes regardless of the practice script. That has also been energizing for Adams. 'Based off a couple we had today, he don't care what that coverage says — if they're not playing that coverage right, you might get the ball still,' said Adams, laughing. Adams and Stafford talk frequently between plays about timing, placement and both players adjust where necessary. 'It makes it easy for a guy like me, because I'll run a route and expect that I'm supposed to run out of (it) a little bit quicker, maybe I had to dive to catch it or something like that, and he's saying 'that's on me, I've got to put it on you' versus telling me that I have to do it a different way,' Adams said. 'Which I'm completely OK with, too! I'm the new guy here. A lot of times that's how I look at it anyway. 'How can I make (things) better?' versus, 'put a better ball on me.' 'As long as he's throwing me the ball, I'll figure out a way to get it. (But) him being a man like that obviously helps this whole thing go a lot smoother and us get on the same page a lot faster.' In stretch lines before practice or in between drills, McVay spends extra time with Adams as the two actually get to know each other following McVay's heated pursuit of Adams in free agency in March. 'A lot of it is asking questions about things that maybe I've seen over the course of his career, or how do we apply it, or how is it maybe similar to the things I've seen him do,' McVay said. 'He loves football. There's a consistent passion, there's a real understanding of how it all kind of fits together (with) spacing, timing, rhythm. We talk about other stuff outside of football. The way his mind works, I've really enjoyed being able to learn from him as well.' Advertisement The two have even talked on the phone after Adams does some of his film study at night, whether to make adjustments or clarify different concepts. 'The way he sees the game is pretty impressive,' said McVay. 'I mean, he sees the game through a quarterback lens. He's got so many experiences and really understands it from an All-22 perspective.' The caveat on everything this time of year is just that: it's the spring. There are no pads, and everyone feels great. But Adams' energy on the field and in meetings during the voluntary workouts even in his 12th season — even as 'the new guy' — backs up his positive talk. 'It's just about ball (here), it's no other B.S.,' he said. 'Got a really good quarterback in here, a really good young team that shows a lot of promise. … Just knowing how hungry this team is and seeing the work that they're still putting in after having a year like last year, it just kind of confirms that I'm in the right place.'
