I am not sure i would want to claim him. I think he is living off his draft pedigree still. For a top 10 pick, he has already been on 3 different clubs at the age of 24. Counter-argument to be made is that he is a hot commodity.. but then he goes on waivers. Florida is already thinner on defence with Montour and OEL (who was good for them) out, and Schmidt and Boqvist in. Now Boqvist on waivers?
If Flames claim him, that's fine. They can try him out until Bahl returns, and then waive Boqvist again. I just don't really see much upside in his game.
