I know the idea for most young players is the more icetime they get, the better it is, but since the NHL is really the only option this year for Thomas, keep him up here. Unfortunately more injuries will occur, so there will be opportunities for Thomas to get top 9 playing time, but even with his limited role right now, I would have to believe he is learning more about being an NHL professional than if he went back down to the minors for the season. Thomas, like Kyrou this year, will not see AHL time even next season when he is eligible. Just too much talent. Let him grow this season with the Blues, give him some extra chances as guys get banged up and he earns the chance, but he needs to stay up here, IMO.
