"St. Louis is where I want to be," Thomas told the team's website. "From the moment I got here, it's been a second home to me, and every year that's gone by, I've loved playing for the Blues more and more. Since I've been here, I've felt like we've had a chance at winning the Stanley Cup every season and I truly believe there will be many more opportunities to win it. That's why I couldn't be happier to be part of it for the next nine seasons."
The Twenty20 World Cup in October, not to mention next year's defence of England's 50-over crown, is beginning to look a long way away for the Surrey opener, with Phil Salt leading the array of big-hitting alternatives at Buttler's disposal.
"Absolutely ... that's what it's all about; choice, options," former NFL player Vincent told an online briefing from The World Games 2022 in Birmingham, Alabama, where flag football is making its debut at a global multi-sport event.

Vincent, speaking after being named a co-chair of the group that will spearhead flag football's efforts toward inclusion at the 2028 Olympics, said there would be no resistance from the NFL if players wanted to try and qualify.
July 13 (Reuters) - If flag football is successful in its bid to be added to the programme for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, NFL Executive Vice President Troy Vincent said on Wednesday the league would not deny players from vying for a spot on their national team.
The governing body also said flag football is adaptable to a wide range of venues - stadiums, #freefire indoor arenas and temporary urban sports parks - making it a flexible and low-cost proposition for multi-sport event organizers. (Reporting by Frank Pingue in Toronto, editing by Pritha Sarkar)
Jason Roy goes into Thursday's second one-day international as a symbol of the dip in fortunes of England's all-conquering limited-overs side that sees them badly needing improvement against India at Lord's and in the final match at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Then, striving too hard to hit a rare wide delivery from Bumrah to the boundary, he inside edged into his stumps for a five-ball duck at his home ground the Oval on Tuesday at the start of an embarrassing 10-wicket defeat.
Moeen compared Mott to England's World Cup winning coach Trevor Bayliss. ‘He has settled in really well,' said Moeen. ‘He is a lot like Trevor but he has his own ways. He is very relaxed and I don't think our start under him has affected him at all.
Roy looks desperately out of form and, approaching his 32nd birthday, #Top1FreeFire needs to show he still has what it takes at the top of the order if he is not to quickly follow fellow 2019 World Cup winner Eoin Morgan into international retirement.
‘Things mentally weren't right with me at the Pakistan Super League,' he said. ‘I was in a weird place because I was playing good cricket but I wasn't enjoying myself. I wasn't happy and it was just a dark time.'
But the club bowlers of the Netherlands have proved a very different proposition to Jasprit Bumrah and company, with Roy making a painful four off 16 balls in the first Twenty20 international against India followed by a duck in the second and 27 in the third.
The failure of the ECB to reveal the nature of his misdemeanour has done him few favours, with Roy having to evade the issue when asked about it by Sportsmail after his return to the spotlight in the Netherlands.
Moeen Ali attempted to explain a white-ball slump that is in sharp contrast to England's Test revival when he insisted it will take time to settle under the new management of Buttler and coach Matthew Mott.
