Claimed off Waivers: [NYI] Islanders claim D Adam Boqvist off waivers from the Panthers

[miscs75]

Great! Now they can trade Dobson. /S

Got any of those useful high end 1st line scoring forwards who play at a really fast pace? Still need a guy who can play with Barzal/Horvat.

cant hurt trying, loads of injuries, to me it seems Adam can be a regular if he finds the correct opportunity and I think Roy and the Isles just may be that...

It's not opportunity, Boqvist sucks at defense. He really has to figure that out or he's not gonna stick around much longer.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Kind've surprised 12 teams based on him tbh

He signed for league minimum 2 weeks into free agency

see eric gustafson....somehow still in the NHL...no defense...

Boqvist makes Gustafsson look like Lidstrom.

Absolutely nothing wrong with this pickup. Good move.

zero risk, high reward

zero risk, high reward

more like zero risk, very low reward

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

thanks for picking him up. and you don't get to send him back.

Big win for Boqvist. He's gonna play with Pelech who has somehow recovered his 2020-2021 game. (He must feel good, which is something he hasn't really felt since the 2021 playoffs.) Really a good scenario for him.

The big loser in this pickup is Perunovich who will play next to the ponderous Scotty "3 Mississippi" Mayfield. (Don't get me wrong, Mayfield has his virtues, but he takes forever figuring out what to do with the puck.)

Devon Toews turned out alright for a guy stuck next to Mayfield. He could be the miracle worker that forces theses guys to fix issues with their games.

Yeah, it's like getting better at making decisions because one's spouse or partner has trouble with them.

Look, spin it as you like, but Mayfield is a huge downgrade as a partner from Mayfield. Still, Mayfield has your back, and that counts for a lot.

I wonder if someone will make him look good enough that either Colorado or St Louis want him. He can play in front of his old college crowd or in his hometown for the remainder of that deal as a result.

Boqvist scores in his first game to tie it 1-1 against Tampa!

Kid has offensive talent, but couldn't get much run here. Good luck to him.

Talk about a hockey player smile!

 

[ploppsdman]

I wonder if he needs to switch to forward.

 

[KaraLupin]

zero risk, high reward

Risk of goals against, but maybe it won't hurt

 

[seafoam]

Not sure what all this means but...

 

[miscs75]

Not sure what all this means but...

It means Perunovich is the first defenseman out, Engvall is useless and Cizikas is an offensive black hole.

 

[Thrasymachus]

He must have quite the chip on his shoulder.

Hope he continues this.

Didn’t Perunovich also have a couple of very good games on these stat cards when he first arrived?

He did but I’d suspect he’s out before Boqvist and TDA are when guys get healthy. He looked solid but from the eye test he just looks like he’s missing something that both Boqvist and TDA bring and both are more physical.
