I know he has fallen out of favor for some CBJ fans, so I'm curious if a deal with that framework is possible.

I’d be down for CBJ. With Jiricek likely a T2 RD next year, Boqvist is a squeeze candidate.

I don’t think he’s fallen out of favor, it’s just hard to see his fit on the team consider what his game is and where the team needs are.

The kid has a ton of offensive upside - he can score, no problem. CBJ just need more defensive guys. Put another way, Boqvist is a luxury piece for a team with an already good D, and that’s just not where CBJ are.

I think it'd be great for MTL. Adding a young RD with top 4 upside while still drafting twice in the first round, in a first-round with few defensemen.

Yup it could be great you are right! But do we really need D prospects (Considering we have Guhle, Barron, Hutson, Mailloux, Harris and Xhekaj)?

Only Barron & Mailloux are RHD
I’m not sold on both
Barron has played very good lately, for quite a while so that’s reassuring
Mailloux … we will have to wait
Guhle is really good
Harris UNDERRATED. I think he has been better than Guhle but we can’t compare because Harris played against weaker competition
Xhekaj look like he’ll be a bottom pairing dman, but a good one. Rare type of dman
Hutson is the GOAT ! JK, look very promising but again, LHD
