So Boqvist - who has yet to play a single game in the NHL - is worthy of a 2nd line spot but a 22 y/o established NHL'er who finished the year quite strong isn't? Ok.
He wouldn't handicap Hughes if he's on the left side with Palms on the right. Not. One. Bit. A strong on his skates winger with a large frame to work the corners, snipe every now and again who is more than capable of dishing + Hughes + Kyle dropping napalm = great success.
If we bring in another established 20+ goal scoring winger you give Zacha a go on Travs wing. He's certainly better than Wood and Z-Z-B would be a hell of a checking line.
Where did I suggest bumping Zajac down to the 4th? And what chemistry? It was a rotating gong show. He just happened to be the stabilizing force on it. I'm thrilled to have Zajac on the 3rd line, but if he was so great last year they would have bumped Zacha down and promoted him.
Zacha needs to be a winger in the top 9 or traded. It's poor asset management if it plays out any other way and I've been saying this for quite some time.
Yeah pretty much, I think Boqvist has shown more top 6 potential than Zacha who has failed in that role in a large sample size. Doesn't mean either can or cant be a top 6 guy, but as of now I would prefer Boqvist in a top role wing role over Zacha depending on what we add.
