Just read an article by Rob Couch of nhltraderumors, where he talks about the potential of the Blue Jackets trading D Adam Boqvist. It seems that the new coach doesn't like AB, and has only played him in 2 games so far. Also, when Werenski went down, David Jiricek was called up and aquitted himself well enough to cement his status on the team. Now, when Werenski comes back, they will have a top-6 with Werenski, Bean, Jiricek, Severson, Gudbranson, and Provorov. We've all heard for months now that D Andrew Peeke is on his way out, and he's only been in the lineup once this season.
For the team that lands Boqvist, they will be getting a D-man of somewhat modest stature (6'0"), who owns tremendous speed and skill, top-notch offensive skills, and a booming shot. His defense is still a work in progress, but this is a player with huge upside, who has already put up good numbers in the NHL.
