Adam Boqvist was drafted eighth overall by the Blackhawks in 2018, and he could have an opportunity to really show why he was drafted there. He has outstanding speed and great offensive awareness, which will be very beneficial in the “track meet” playstyle the Blackhawks possess.
As, say, Patrick Kane goes up the ice, catching the opponents in a line change and a defenseman joins him for a 2 on 1. So far, the Blackhawks have defensemen who are defensively sound, but not very many who can finish chances.
