Armstrong’s take on how things played out from their pov was in an article by the Blues beat reporter.
He (Armstrong) thought the trade was dead days before it took place. So he moved on top other moves because he had a roster to fill out (like signing Bozak). He was surprised to get a call from Botts the day of the trade. I think it was 6 hours before the bonus was due.
Armstrong had already added players, so whatever they had worked out before wouldn’t work without us taking on cap hits. I just find it incredibly hard to believe Botts would be that desperate to unload ROR before the bonus unless he was told to do so. Calling Armstrong back like that roughly 6 hrs before the bonus was due strikes me as very desperate.
The unanswered question we still havent found out....
what was going on in the locker room prior to the ROR trade Was something going on dividing the team, did ROR ask to be traded.
what was the deal to start with before this final deal was...
