Thread: Boston Bruins signed Jesper Boqvist (1 Year / $775,000 AAV)
Hall, Zacha, Boqvist, Walsh, Grier, Bowers, Haula, Lazar…by 2027 NJD and BOS will have swapped entire teams

Good signing. Boqvist is very fast and can play any forward slot. Has remade himself into a bit of a forechecking center in recent years…spent a lot of time as Devils 3C last year. Has some skill, but don’t expect a big jump in points from last year.

Here is a nice little clip of Boqvist walking Pietrangelo

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpetes250</b></div><div>I have seen a lot of Forbort for Vaak swaps. I am not sure that Forbort will be the one on the chopping block this summer. He is a huge part of the PK and really stabilizes the back end, he also has a M-NTC. I think the consensus, on this website anyway, that the odd man out on D will be Grz. If the Bruins want Vaak back as the 7th D, they'd probably rather give up a pick than Forbort.

However, if Forbort is gone this summer, I think this would intrigue Boston. Especially if Lorhei proves to be NHL ready and the B's can fill the left side with young, cheap talent.</div></div>

I'd take Reilly, but as he just passed waivers recently, it'll take a payment along with, rather than a payment for Reilly. I also don't think Vaaks has a future with Anaheim, he has taken too long to develop, and we have guys that are going to shove him out of the lineup sooner rather than later. I think Forbort for Vaaks works (most of those posts have likely beenmy ACGMs) as it does get cap out and still leaves you with a league min-ish player already familiar with the system, even if its a 7th guy.

I know Forbort cuts heavily into the depth, but I think Boston is going to have to make a bunch of moves that fans won't like in order to field a decent team that is cap compliant with Pasta's extension, the overages, and some of the vets potentially not returning and taking massively team friendly deals.
