Do you think Jim Montgomery wanted to go to St. Louis all along?? 🤔 5 days after the pink slip from Don Sweeney, Montgomery was handed a 5-year contract by St. Louis Blues GM Doug Armstrong Elliotte Freidman said “I think everybody knew that the Blues had one eye on Montgomery, and Montgomery had one eye on the Blues,” Friedman added. “And I would think that the Bruins knew that this was possible all along, that Montgomery realized that this other situation was there. “And if he wasn’t happy with the way that the Bruin situation was working out, he could potentially go there. And that’s exactly the way it unfolded. I don’t think this is a surprise to anybody.” (via his 32 Thoughts podcast) Montgomery had also said he didn't want to get into the particulars of how him going back to the Blues came about.
