Neighbours recorded two shots on net and a plus-1 rating in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Neighbours watched the last two games from the press box, as head coach Craig Berube wanted the 19-year-old rookie to take a step back after suiting up in the first six games of the year. The 2020 first-round pick (26th overall) is a gritty player with offensive upside in the future. However, the Blues' forward depth will likely keep him in the bottom six, thus lowering his fantasy ceiling for now.

Neighbours scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Neighbours scored at 2:37 of the second period, and his tally was ultimately the game-winner. It was the 19-year-old's first NHL goal, in just his fourth game. The 26th overall pick from 2020 has settled into a bottom-six role with two points, four shots on net and five hits through four contests. He may not stick in the lineup all year, but he's made a good impression early on.

Neighbours posted an assist in Monday's 7-4 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Neighbours set up fellow winger Klim Kostin's second goal of the game, with the former earning his first NHL point on the play. The 19-year-old Neighbours will likely be sheltered on the fourth line in a deep forward group, so it's tough to see much scoring upside. He posted a solid 33 points in 19 games with the WHL's Edmonton Oil Kings last year.

The Blues assigned Neighbours to the Edmonton Oil Kings of the WHL on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Neighbours has been practicing with the big club as a member of St. Louis' taxi squad, but he was never expected to see NHL ice this season. The 2020 first-round pick racked up 23 goals and 70 points in 64 games with the Oil Kings in 2019-20.

The Blues added Neighbours to the taxi squad Sunday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26th overall pick in the 2020 draft signed an entry-level deal with the club this offseason, as he'll add depth to the roster. Neighbours lit up the WHL last season, racking up 23 goals and 70 points across 64 games. Expect the 18-year-old to spend most of his time between the taxi squad and the AHL this campaign.

Neighbours signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Blues on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Blues just selected Neighbours with the 26th overall pick of this year's draft. The 18-year-old winger projects to be a gritty, middle-six option in the future, so he could have some fantasy value at some point down the road, but he probably isn't worth picking up in dynasty formats at this stage in his development.
