Confirmed with Link: New York Islanders claim Boqvist

[Taswell]

I mean after having a lineup of mostly defensive d with pedestrian speed, it is nice to have some speed and outlet passing, not going to lie. I think Perunovich ends up being the best of the three(even if he’s the weakest skater in the bunch), but I don’t doubt Deangelo getting a contract here to be a bottom pairing player next year, and Boqvist potentially being a 7th D next year. Or they can all end up sucking shit. Regardless, these are risks worth taking when the cost is this low.

I chimed in with the same comment on the main board thread for this pickup - absolutely nothing wrong with this move. There's still upside, no harm in seeing what we can get out of him. 8th overall in 2018.
