No, honestly. I rather see us against both Czechia and perhaps even Sweden. Even if Sweden are really good.Sure blud
Would be typical Finland to take stupid penalties and get punished by Dvorsky but also Radivojevic.
The latter wasn't that good today but I believe he could bloom in a PP and be important for you guys.

Boqvist was in the NHL in his draft +2 year. 13 points in 41 NHL games. I'm going to say going from the London Knights in the OHL to the Chicago Blackhawks is pretty significant!
Respectfully, I think you are comparing where we all think Asp will be (Hughes territory) with where Boqvist is today
However, Boqvist went in Top 10 and was in NHL in his D + 2. ASP went in middle 10 and is in SHL in D + 2 and playing at the World Jrs.

Too much skill. The Slovaks looked gassed in the 3rd from chasing the Swedes around the defensive zone.
The consistently relentless defensive puck pressure from Sweden was quite impressive.

still trying to trust the yzerplan
That’s fair. I think they are very different players though.

For sure. And I hope ASP ends up in the top tiers of D at his NHL peak! He's fun to watch! I won't like him at all on NYE.lol

Worth noting injuries & concussions have f***ed Boqvist up.

This is more indicative of bringing players up too quickly than anything else, honestly.

Noteworthy, maybe. However, hard to chalk it up to personal accomplishments. For a part time bottom 6 role you can't claim the player forced himself onto the roster. So, in large part, it's a management decision here. Might not have been the best decision either in hindsight, as it is tempting to blame his injuries and other struggles on lack of physical maturity.
Realistically even if ASP's defensiive game only develops to nothing better than mid, he's still going to be fine.
In Detroit, he'll be getting PPQB duties and will always end up the secondary choice for defensive duties with Seider there. Not to mention he could very well end up with Edvinsson as his long term partner, which will afford him the cushion to jump up into the offense.

Good early, played simple efficient game. His line created a lot.
Bad later part, begun doing fancy behind the back plays giving away the puck.

Radiojevic looked like usual. Transcendent skater but doesn't really do much with it

Boqvist is I would say the most talented Swedish D in terms of offense since Erik Karlsson. ASP is not quite at that level but far more well rounded. Very different types of players.
