He held his own in the SHL games I saw of him last year. He did not really look like a kid when you saw him vs men.
Impressive agility, speed and skill. Fun player to watch.
Really not afraid to go to the dirty areas either, which is quite impressive for a guy his age.

Its okay, the issue is that the 3rd and 4th lines are rather bad compared to the top lines which shines through in the video. But he was realy dominant last season, that's the main reason (ignoring all the injuries) he got called up to the A squad late last season. Boqvist is a gem!

no luv for boqvist on hf partners / steves top 500 list , hes around 100! his #s are great , any nhl comparable players with similar #s at his age? thx. hes on my watchlist. (wild fan)
I do not really get what they base the lists on. But many off them admit they havnt watch superelit, but it is still strange that they do not even pay attention to the stats.
At this point of time he should be consider as a first rounder, then we will se what happens next year.

Primeter player. Can't see him being very effective on the smaller ice against bigger and better competition unless he changes a lot of things in his game. He was mostly invisible at the U18 WJC despite having one of the best seasons by anyone on his team.

Hat trick (+ a secondary assist) a couple nights ago.
10 goals 5 assists in 14 games in the SuperElit. 3 SHL games with no points.

Is it a case where he's too good for SuperElit but not quite there in the SHL?
Maybe Allsvenskan will be good for him. And to play with either of those guys would be huge.
My guess is that he's first and foremost loaned in to cover for Pettersson, Dahlén and Lööke likely going away with Team Sweden for camp and WJC.
That is almost 2 months away, and if he do well in allsvenskan he can be joining Pettersson and the others to WJC 20. But sure maybe it is a part of the reason, but he has a lot of potential and can possible be a impact player in allsvenskan and he is cheap. Will be intresting to see what he can do there, will probably determine a lot where he will be taken in the draft and can increase his chances of going to wjc.
Has look really good in this 2 games so far, 1+1. His great skating is what most stand out and he looks very comfortable out there. Timrå as team hasnt been that good in this games however. But if he keep this up, I would like to see him on the wjc 20 team.

if my wild pick mid to late 20's i'd be happy with a speedy forward like boqvist. he would be another zucker type player imo. cheers.
Great SHL games lately
Jesper has played a couple of games with Brynas in SHL and done very well. In the last 2 games he has 5 assists. I think its fair to say that he has learned how to use his skills to play against men.

Im surprised this kid hasn't been talked about more. He has great wheels and a very strong hockey sense. Personally it may seem a bit highly, but I have him in the 15-25 range

I'm with you. I have him much higher than everywhere I've seen. Doesn't seem to be getting much love at all. I could see him being a major draft day riser.
