The New Jersey Devils did not do Jesper Boqvist any favors after plucking him from his native Sweden this season. We thought there was a chance they’d send him back to Brynas after a decent preseason, but they decided he was important for the depth of this team. What made little sense is they had him watch most games from the owner’s box as players like Kevin Rooney and John Hayden took the ice.
What makes little sense is Rooney and Hayden are likely on their final seasons with the Devils.
