He can still be right. Boqvist might be the better one one in the long run. He might also never get to NHL. Thats what the future is there for. To sort sht out so we dont have to.

Every country have there homers.Me myself mostly follow my swedes. And i think the finnish and canadian homers been the worst against swedes and its probably vice versa. But they also been some of the best here at Hf. The worst homers are the arrogant ones the best are driven by passion. But you have to take the good with the bad. And i would never rule out all opinions some person have based on other opinions the same person had.

double check your info . I believe he was never signed they just had his OHL rights. It was up to the Jets on where he ended up

Id say close to 25 minutes to start then second half i could see them reaching 30+ Hunter likes to lean on players who he can rely on late in games

Hawks have had a series of videos for their 2018 draft, and this one is specifically about Boqvist.
Might just be editing, but Hawks brass seems to have preferred Boqvist over guys like Hayton, Kotkaniemi, Tkachuck, and Hughes.

Obviously, hes as good a prospect as most of em, if not better. Had him 3rd overall.

He was a top 4 prospect most of the season and dipped at the end. I was high on him all season and was happier with the pick than most Hawks fans.

As a Hawks fan I am extremely pleased we got Boqvist. Toward the end of the season when we knew the Hawks would miss the playoffs, the focus was on where the Hawks would draft and it generally ranged from 7th to 10th depending on the outcome of the last few games. Therefore, I didn't think we had a chance to get Boqvist and I was hoping to get either Bouchard or Dobson. I think Hawks fans who are unhappy with Boqvist would have preferred a bigger d-man like Bouchard or Dobson but they will come around when they watch Boqvist in London this season.

A lot of fans were hoping for Hughes or Wahlstrom and then started to become concerned over Boqvist's concussion issues. Plus, the consensus was that Boqvist was the furthest away from the NHL and hence the riskiest even though his upside was known. Other fans wanted the Hawks to trade the pick for immediate help. So I don't think it was a dislike of Boqvist as much as wanting a different player or the team to make a trade.
Personally, I wanted Wahlstrom but understood what Boqvist could become. At the end of the day, I trust the Hawks draft picks since they have done an excellent job over the years.
That video was interesting. How is Kelley and Bowman finalizing that pick while sitting on the floor in Dallas? You would think they know exactly who they are taking based on who is available. Unless a trade is presented, there should have been very little to discuss. Maybe it was just for the cameras.

I also had him 3OA. Jealous that the Hawks landed him, but the Oilers probably would have passed and/or somehow ruined his development anyway.

Boqvist had a decent 3rd period today, but the 1st 40 minutes was seriously underwhelming. All the things I didn't like about his game, very little of the good things. A long shot to make the U20 team to begin with, barring injury or Brannstrom & Liljegren making their NHL clubs, games like that will keep him off even as a 7th D.

Loved the East-West pass at his own blue line to Team USA
Loved the turnover at the end of the period on the PP, especially loved the lack of hustle getting back. Also loved the general lack of hustle getting back when a forward was covering for him when he jumped in. The one goal for that he was on for, he flew the zone so quick, yet had nothing to do with the play beyond being on ice.
Loved the attempted 1 handed stand up when he got got turned into a revolving door.
Loved how a puck moving defender never really brought it out of his own end, made 1 decent break out pass, usually deferred to Ginning to do the puck management in their own end.
And this is a coach's kid.
On the positive side, it looks like he's grown a little more as the size difference between him and Ginning wasn't as pronounced and his 3rd period wasn't bad. Wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. For him, that's progress.

His lousy hockey offended me. He looks super dangerous from the red light in, but the rest of his game is sooo deficient...
Look, he's still only 17 and he might put it together, but(and if they can't do it in London, nobody can) when you have to fix his D, his effort and you hope he fills out, that's an awful lot when his offense hasn't translated against higher levels of competition.

I did not watch the game, maybe he was bad i do not know. in general i do not care much about summer games, the season has not started and they are basically just practice sessions, and can not be taken to seriously.

It was the same stuff when I saw him live last December, just without the knee injury. For him, it's an opportunity to try and make the U20 team, not just a summer game of shinny. To be fair, that may have affected his game(thinking is death) and if he plays tonight like he played in the 3rd period that will be a solid bonus.
Remember when Elias Pettersson had a lousy summer scrimmage directly after the draft and every body labeled him a bust? The summer scrimmage really illustrated the rest of his season, didn't it?
Relax.
