Thomas secured a three-year, entry-level contract with St. Louis on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas averaged a point per game with OHL London last season and as a result, the Blues snagged him with the 20th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft. The 18-year-old will be back with the Knights for the 2017-18 season and no doubt will be hoping to shatter his point total from the previous campaign.

Thomas lit the lamp twice -- including a goal on the man advantage -- Friday in a 4-0 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Unless you happen to closely follow the Blues and their prospects, Thomas' name may not ring a bell. He became a Note with a first-round, 20th overall pick from this year's draft. In 2015-16, the right-shooting center added a mere 15 points in 40 regular-season games with OHL London, only to average a point per game over 66 matches last year. It could take a few years for Thomas to get settled into the NHL, but his performance Friday should be a terrific confidence booster.
