Holy shit, Boqvist just had an absolute beast of a shift. Turning the whole opposition outside in, finishing it off with a fake shot, freezing the goalie, and pass it back door to an open net for his team mate.
Pretty funny, commentator said: "New jersey devils must be licking their chops right now knowing that they have the rights to this kid. He is a very special player."
16 points in his last 18 games and 1 period.
Sorry if I spam about him, haha, but I'm just so excited for this kid. Hope you don't mind.

The end of the shift. Was barzaling around in the zone for like 20 seconds before that.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Hope he can be an Aho type of player

Please keep posting about him. Smith and Boqvist are the best parts about this season.

I like our Sweden scouts.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Our current ones.
Not the previous regime Scandinavian scouts. JJ, Teddy, etc

lafreniere should be interesting to watch. isn't he touted as 1OA next draft?

 

[bodda]

Adding a beautiful toedrag goal, 17 points in last 18 games and 2 periods.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

I'm watching the game and Boqvist looks elite offensively. The amount of time the puck is on his stick this game has to double the next best player on Brynas. Everything funnels back to him in the offensive zone. I believe his play has NJ salivating and seriously considering trading MOJO knowing he can fill in next year.

Yes....but can we finish sucking this year before we worry about how much we’re going to suck next year?

Agreed. Seem nhl ready to me. Now we just need a center named Jesper and we can have a Jesper line! Maybe Zacha could change his name and get some of that Jesper magic

I don't think JB is NHL ready physically

PZ is not NHL ready mentally for sure.

[Emperoreddy]

Wow that was some flithy stuff from Jesper B

December 18 is much different than September 19...also, what are you basing this off of?

Think he should come over and play AHL or stay in Europe one more year?

He's listed at 6'0" 182lbs, I would'nt say that's a concern. He will put on some muscle in the off season too. Looks strong enough playing against men right now.
Adjusting to north american rink size is something real though and could take some time.

 

[Darkauron]

That has always been the biggest concern with Boqvist. He could be pushed around a lot easy and he can be a perimeter player at times which would cause issues at the smaller rinks and with bigger players

i want a video of this goal

That was basically like watching Bratt. Especially at 0:32 when he opens up his feet quickly to back off the defender a bit but keeps going full speed. So slick.

And yeah, I'm not worried at all about his size or perceived perimeter play. When you have the skill and IQ he does he'll find a way to make it work in the NHL, that I'm confident in.

I have the video but haven't figured out how to make it work on HF

Isn’t Elias Petersson skinny as a rail?

Size means very little as long as you are quick to the right areas and create your own space with speed.
