In two years, he will be working alongside Doug Armstrong.

Then Alexander Steen will take over as general manager for the NHL team St Louis.

I'm incredibly thrilled, he says.

At the beginning of 2022, it became clear that Patrik Allvin got the job as general manager for Vancouver.

Now the Swede will soon have blue and yellow company in the NHL role.

Alexander Steen will get the same role in his former club St Louis, where he played from 2008-2021 and led to the Stanley Cup victory in 2018-2019, but before the 40-year-old takes over, he will work alongside Doug Armstrong for two years.

I'm incredibly thrilled to be moving back to St Louis. I came here for the first time in 2008 and immediately felt welcome by the city and the people, says Steen to the club's website.

Before last season, Alexander Steen got the role as player developer and adviser in St Louis organisation.

Now he will initially become the assistant general manager.

I go back to his values, which have always been about the team. What's best for the team, not what's best for him, says Armstrong.

He understood that if the team was to succeed, it was crucial to let go of certain personal things.

Doug Armstrong has been in St Louis since 2008 and became general manager two years later.

After the next two years, Armstrong will become the club's chairman.
