New York Islanders: Adam Boqvist re-signed 1 year deal ($850k)

[SI90]

Darche!!! Not wasting any time. Darche first signing is Adam Boqvist. This definitely came from Roy on recommendation. Team wants to play fast up tempo

 

[xECK29x]

Good, liked his game, fits well.

 

[Throttle]

With their first pick in the ‘18 draft…

 

[miscs75]

Atleast if he regresses, there’s no term left come next June.

no brainer, no downside with 1 year at modest AAV.. like his game. nice to see things starting to move beginning with our RFAs/UFAs .. lots of work to do not just this year but over the next couple.

 

[Taswell]

Took a pay cut, clearly knows he has something to prove. If it works out, great, if not, it’s peanuts.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

I like the move.

Back when I predicted we could pick him up off waivers, I did not foresee him sticking around longer than mop-up duty for our injured regulars. Props to him, keep producing as a bottom pair!

 

[MJF]

Ok.

 

[Kevin27nyi]

He worked out, good find by Lou.

With Isaiah George able to be called up and play a more defensive role, this is who I want as a seventh D

 

[IslesNorway]

No risk move. He can be buried if need be and the potential is still there.

Right side:

Dobson
Pulock
Mayfield
TDA?
Boqvist

That's too many, right? Seriously, we'll see if TDA is re-signed. Mayfield and Roy seem to be oil and water, and Darche's comments about "play fast" do not bode well for Mayfield. Oh, and Dobson??

I think Mayfield's days are numbered

 

[seafoam]

He's at 244 NHL games played despite being picked before Dobson in the same draft. Unless we see a significant improvement this season, he likely is what we saw last year.

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Low risk signing from a waiver pickup, not bad a tall.

Time to give a similar deal to TDA.

As others have said, this was a no-brainer. Great signing.
