Boqvist has trouble with strength, power and physicality of NHL game. Forsling doesn't need to put up points to be effective. The same can't be said about Boqvist. They're different style players. I had Boqvist in a keeper fantasy league so I've been watching him the last few years. He's very soft.Nobody thought Forsling could do that either. There was a reason why he was put on waivers. Boqvist has enough pedigree and traits to have a similar development arc.
We'll see what happens in Florida. It's a good situation for him. He got a 2-way minimum one-year contract which means there was very little interest in him. If he doesn't pan out with Florida, he'll likely be in the SHL next year.
