Boqvist was waived by Boston prior to the start of last season and cleared waivers despite being on a league min contract. He has also signed for $775K the past two offseasons. He clearly wasn't worth the QO and if he was valuable there would teams willing to pay more than league minimum for him or claiming him off waivers with Boston last year.
If you want to criticize Fitz than criticize the lack of talent apart from Luke from the 2020 and 2021 classes despite 5 first round picks. Or his inability to find cheap productive players on the cheap at forward (he's done a great job on defense with Siegs and Kovacevic). Criticizing not QOing a player that was waived months later and has signed league minimum contracts the past two offseasons is not even close to the reason of the lack of forward depth.
