Honestly, a spark plug on any line. Totally predictable with effort, 200 foot game, lethal in front of the net, good character/locker room guy.

He's in line for a big contract.

He's been great to start the season for sure. If you love the blue collar type play that the Blues are known for it is really hard to say that Neighbors doesn't fit that bill exactly.

The part I like most about Neighbors is his ability to blend into any role that is really needed, he does so many detail oriented things well.

You guys seem to love him yet I see his name misspelled at least 50% of the time lol. It’s Neighbours, not Neighbors. He’s Canadian after all! Please show him the honour of spelling his name correctly as he proudly wears the colour blue to represent us. 8)

He's the kind of player a team can well use to win a Cup.

I’ll say it again. When a teenager, he would often get asked what his backup plan was if he didn’t make the NHL.

He always answered “Nothing. I’m making the NHL.”

What did you say when you were asked? “I’m gonna be a useless troll”

It's 100 percent happening in a couple years. Schenn Faulk will both be moving on at the same time. Thats 3 seasons from now. Neighbours will be 26/27 and Parayko will still be with team. It will probably be Thommer who gets the C with Neighbours wearing the A and Parayko till his time is done 5 years from now. (including this season)

I'm curious who the next guy will be, if it's offense its probably Hollywood right? If its defense I think we still need someone to emerge.

5 years is a LOOOOOONG time away. Plenty of time to figure it out and plenty of players to choose from (Some may not even be on the current team).

Either way, I love the way the team is set up right now.

Neighbours is a better player when he doesn't go straight to the net. When we enter the zone.

None of his three have been scored from him standing in front of the goalie, I don't think any have.

Joseph and Monty rave about Jake in Hochman's article today. Not to mention, it spells out what a special human being Neighbours is.

Dude is amazing. On and off the ice. Special. Every team would love to have him.
