Blues Name Robert Thomas Captain | St. Louis News

The St. Louis Blues just made a huge move: Robert Thomas is now captain, stepping into the C from Brayden Schenn after eight seasons with the team and as a key member of the 2019 Cup squad. A first-round pick in 2017, Thomas has racked up over 460 points in 530 games and averages more than a point per game for three straight years — all while excelling in skating, faceoffs, and defense. Already an alternate captain, this promotion makes perfect sense, especially with his record-setting eight-year contract through 2031 showing the team’s full confidence in him. Joining him as alternates are Colton Parayko, Philip Broberg, Jake Neighbours, and Dylan Holloway — building a strong leadership core. The official announcement drops Thursday at 12:15 PM on the Blues’ YouTube page, and their new season kicks off Oct. 2 against the Dallas Stars.
