Jake Neighbours

Neighbours tied for second on the Blues with 27 goals last season while chipping in 11 assists, 145 shots on net and 138 hits in 77 games. He also ranked fourth on the team with 14 power-play points. Following a slow start, the 22-year-old forward began to contribute offensively in bunches before finishing the campaign with seven tallies and three helpers in his final 12 appearances. Neighbours sat out five contests to conclude the season but should be ready for training camp. He will receive every opportunity to continue his upward trajectory in 2024-25 while occupying a spot in the top six and seeing plenty of time on the man advantage. Neighbours could lead St. Louis in goals, and with a little more consistency, he may flirt with the 50-point plateau during the upcoming campaign.
