It is no secret that star forward Robert Thomas was a significant reason behind the St. Louis Blues getting back into the playoffs this past spring. The 26-year-old forward had a fantastic season for the Blues, as he recorded 21 goals, 60 assists, 81 points, and a plus-20 rating in 70 games. This included recording 40 points in the Blues' final 26 games of the regular-season. 

With numbers like these, Thomas only continued to prove that he is a true star in this league. It was also the second year in a row that Thomas hit the 60-assist and 80-point marks, which is certainly impressive.

Due to Thomas' outstanding play, he is now nearing two notable milestones heading into the 2025-26 season. He is only 11 assists away from reaching the 300th assist of his career. This is not the only nice milestone that Thomas should hit in 2025-26, as he needs only four more points to hit the 400-point mark for his career. Assuming he stays healthy, it should not take him very long to hit both milestones. 

Nevertheless, it is going to be very fascinating to see what kind of season Thomas can put together during the 2025-26 campaign. He is only seeming to get better with each season that passes by.
