On November 13, 2007, in the wake of a 7–7–3 start and a colossal meltdown by the team in Los Angeles (losing 6–5 in OT after leading 4–0 with 7 minutes remaining in the game), Doug Armstrong was relieved of his duties as the GM for the Stars and was replaced by former Stars player Brett Hull and assistant GM Les Jackson as interim co-GM's. During Armstrong's tenure, the Dallas Stars went 210–109–35–23. 
On May 29, 2008, the St. Louis Blues announced that they have named Doug Armstrong as the new director of Player Personnel and sign him to a 2 year deal then when the 2 years are up he will take over as General Manager when Larry Pleau retires.
