Alexander Steen blir general manager för St. Louis Blues

Alexander Steen tar över som general manager för St. Louis Blues i sommar och efterträder därmed Doug Armstrong. Den 42-årige tidigare spelaren blir den andra svensken i rollen efter Patrik Allvin. Övergången tillkännagavs sommaren 2024 och har förberetts noggrant.

Alexander Steen, som tillbringade 12 säsonger i Blues som spelare och bidrog till lagets Stanley Cup-seger 2019, avslutade sin karriär 2020 på grund av ryggproblem. Sedan 2023 har han arbetat i klubbens ledning och gradvis tagit på sig ett större ansvar under våren. Doug Armstrong, som varit GM sedan 2010 och arkitekten bakom mästerskapet 2019, uttryckte stort förtroende för sin efterträdare. ”I praktiken är Alex general manager nu ur spelarnas perspektiv”, sa Armstrong. ”Inga fler trejder, inga fler waivers den här säsongen. Nu måste Alex sätta sin prägel på laget under avslutningssamtalen och ställa sina förväntningar.”
