According to the local papers, the fracture is complicated and will take some extra time to heal.
oof, hope it's not too much extra time.

3 months should be tons of time to return unless it was multiple breaks.they give an estimated time table?
sucks cause he had a great summer and was hoping to see him start the season off hot
back for WJC?
Good to see. Don't like to see kids derailed due to injury.Boqvist is back skating no contact. It's a shame this injury happened. He was playing top line in preseason. Should be a lock to play top 6 on the WJC team if healthy enough.
Boqvist finished the season with 13 points in 22 games. If you recall, he had a pretty nasty broken wrist earlier in the season and he only shot like 7%, which suggests he probably had bad luck. Comparing to recent high picks from the SHL (thanks to @Zippy316 for compiling this)
--------
Some quick recent first/second line players to compare to:
Lias Andersson at eliteprospects.com- 14 points in 22 games
Joel Eriksson Ek at eliteprospects.com -- 16 points in 41 games
William Nylander at eliteprospects.com -- 2o points in 21 games
Adrian Kempe at eliteprospects.com -- 17 points in 50 games
Alexander Wennberg at eliteprospects.com -- 21 points in 50 games
Mika Zibanejad at eliteprospects.com -- 13 points in 26 games
Can any SHL fans comment on his play this year?
What was his bad injury? A broken bone last year?Seems like he is doing well point wise. Nice to come back from a bad injury.
He has not progressed as much compaird to last year. Very uneven and streaky, but Brynäs has gone through a lot of turbulence this season, GM and coach fired and some poor results in the beginning of the season. We are playing better now, let's see if Boqvist can turn up his game aswell.
Thanks for the honest input. From what I read he has 17 points in hist last 19 games, which from the outside looking in seems consistent.
Can you elaborate on how he is streaky? Do you see him having a high ceiling in the NHL if he puts it together?
Don't get me wrong, he is producing, however, I believe that most fans had higher expectations. Being able to carry a line with his speed, which he has not, he goes on 2-4 games hot streak to be invisible the coming 2-4 games. That said, he has been playing better lately under the new coach and management.
As for his ceiling, can't really tell, he has the talent but is not NHL ready yet, but yeh time will tell. I hope he stays another season with Brynäs, it will do him good.
