Of course it is 90's night at the Scottrade Center tonight, so let's take a second to honor one of the best things to come from the 90's...Robert Thomas. Thomas is a lesser talked about, lesser sought after prospect outside of the Gateway to the West. For any Montreal fans dropping by: Welcome! Since you're here, take a second to learn about this Blues pick you may have never even heard of before. Robert Thomas currently has 22 goals and 56 points in his D+1 season in the OHL as a very good two-way center. His 22 goals in 35 games already bests his 16 goals all of last season. He was recently traded from London to Hamilton for picks as far out as 2022! Now I know you all up there in Montreal are pretty deprived of good centers so you're probably thinking "Should we include him in every proposal we make for say, Max Paciorrety?" And the answer is yes absolutely you should.
Here he is on draft day when literally any team could have taken him.
And here is for Team Canada at the WJC, which I guess some of you Habs faithful may have caught. Hopefully this is as close as he and fellow Blues prospect Jordan Kyrou ever get to wearing red for a Canadian team. I hope you've enjoyed this quick profile of Robert Thomas! I look forward to seeing if this generates any dormant interest in Thomas, who we should note, we'd sure like to hang on to as Blues fans.
