Blues report card: Final forward grades — Pavel Buchnevich to Jordan Kyrou to Robert Thomas

ST. LOUIS — Another season, another slow start.If you made a list of reasons why the St. Louis Blues missed the playoffs in 2025-26, atop that list would be their star players not producing. That was especially the case in October and November, and thus the team could never get going.Some players turned it around in March and April, but for a few, that’s the second straight season that’s happened. So keep in mind when reading this report card that the grading is for the full seven months, not the end of the season when the club was all but out of the playoff race.Others, though, never turned it around. Will they be back with the club? Or can they be moved?Advertisement
