The St. Louis Blues are entering a pivotal phase in their rebuilding process, and several young players are poised to make significant contributions in the upcoming 2025-26 season. Key among them are Jordan Kyrou, Robert Thomas, and Jake Neighbours, each of whom has shown flashes of brilliance and holds the potential to elevate the team's performance significantly.

Jordan Kyrou, coming off a productive season, is expected to take on a more prominent role as he continues to develop his offensive game. With his explosiveness and playmaking abilities, he can become a central figure in St. Louis' scoring lineup. Meanwhile, Robert Thomas has already established himself as a reliable center, and further maturation in his game could see him emerge as a top-tier forward for the Blues.

Lastly, Jake Neighbours is a player to watch as he seeks to solidify his place in the NHL. Known for his tenacity and skill, Neighbours has the tools to become a key contributor. As these young players gather experience and confidence, they could form the backbone of the Blues’ resurgence in the competitive Western Conference landscape.
