Yeah that tells me you weren't watching properly.
I saw 50+ London games and my opinion was basically shared by Knights fans.
Regula was the Knights best defensive defenseman.
I still liked Boqvist mind you.
Well that bodes well because Regula and Boqvist might be playing together for a long time.
I only caught 5-6 games. Maybe I happened to get some of Boqvist's better games.
If you watched 50 games, I can't really argue. They were occasionally on NHL Network.
What makes Boqvist special is that he has a 1st line forward's skillset and has the ability, at times, (as of right now) to defend at an above average level. Boqvist was 2 weeks from being in the 2019 draft so he's one of the younger draft+2 players.
My belief is that Boqvist is one of those players who is going to zoom past his peers in his early-mid 20s, even though he might be a little behind currently.
I might be one of the highest people on Boqvist on the board, so take that into account. I thought he was at worst, the 4th best player in the 2018 draft. I would have taken him over anyone except Dahlin and Svechnikov.
