No question boqvist makes the nine game trial, and in my opinion, he should play the majority of the season with the hawks. The ahl will help any deficiencies in his game. That being said, he is by far the best prospect we have, full spot period. No one even comes close to his drive, skill, and awareness on the ice.
Now, it’s unpopular opinion time folks.
Ohhhhh dach. There’s two scenarios that play out with this kid in my head. One, is that logic actually takes hold and people realize how unready this kid is. The second, and considering who our GM is and how desperate he’s gotten, is that he is rushed to the nhl. I really hope in all actuality he doesn’t even get nine games. Dach still lacks so much drive and effort which, mixed with his inability to use his body and clear lack of speed, is dangerous in today’s nhl. All it takes is dach skating with his head down once in nine games and someone puts him in the third row. People say there’s so much to like about him and that he’s nhl ready, but people gotta start paying attention to what does, or rather doesn’t do, without the puck. Not the times when he actually strips pucks, cuz that’s good. I mean the way he lacks the awareness to be an opportunist. Also, just in case nobody knows this, he a 41.2% faceoff percentage in the whl last year. 41.2%!!!!! I can’t wait till we just give up and make him a winger. I know I’m harsh on him, but at number three overall, that won’t change. Go back to juniors kid, and learn to actually dominate there first.
