EDMONTON, AB - Despite hailing from Sweden, prospect Adam Boqvist could be the Swiss Army knife when it comes to having the tools needed to be a productive offensive defenceman in today's NHL.
A dynamic right-shot blue-liner with speed, vison and puck-handling ability that could rival the top forwards available in this year's draft class, Boqvist is a high-end option that the Oilers could be fortunate enough to select at tenth overall at the NHL Draft later this month in Dallas following the NHL Combine in Buffalo.
