The St. Louis Blues have revamped this roster over the offseason, but are not yet ready to be called a contender. It is getting to that point, but a little more time for the younger players to blossom is the best course of action.
Even still, there are a number of players that could make a really big impact next season. Dare I say, there are three players that could each pot over 30 goals in the 84-game gauntlet.
Looking back, nobody reached that plateau in 2025-26, and only Jordan Kyrou was able to do it in 2024-25 with 36 goals. Unfortunately, he is not on this list as he will now be scoring a bunch of goals with Washington.
Let's find out who, and if it is even possible.
Jimmy Snuggerud
With 21 goals in his rookie campaign, it is inevitable that Jimmy Snuggerud will be in the 30-goal club in 2026-27. Furthermore, his Entry-Level Contract is up at the end of this upcoming year, providing more reason for him to really hammer home some goals.
That first line of Snuggerud, Robert Thomas, and Dylan Holloway is going to be this team's bread and butter, and they have to be absolutely perfect from the jump. To give it a rating from not happening to a guarantee, No. 21 getting 30 goals next season is heavily sitting on that guarantee side.
Dylan Holloway
There is a great chance that both Snuggerud and Holloway will each achieve 30+ goals on that first line together. Thomas is fully enthralled in the prime of his career, thus making his playmaking abilities perfect for these two.
Holloway is going into the first year of a brand-new deal, and his importance to this franchise with his speed and creativity is unmatched. Watch out for No. 81 to possibly eclipse 40+ at some point in his career.
Mason McTavish
The newcomer to the group, Mason McTavish, is going to be fighting Connor McMichael for that second-line center spot. If not, one of the two will be on the wing.
McTavish is coming to St. Louis with a new attitude and mindset than he had in Anaheim, and that should make him dangerous. His career-high in goals for his career is 22, which he set in 2024-25, so he is not too far off. A new system and some new linemates in the top six with the Blues could catapult him over the threshold.
