2024 Fantasy Outlook
A limited role in his lone year in Boston did Boqvist no favors, as he produced just 14 points over 47 regular-season contests while averaging 11:09 of ice time per game. He was not tendered a qualifying offer, but he found a landing spot in Florida in free agency, coincidentally joining his brother Adam with the Panthers as the defending champions restocked their depth. The elder Boqvist, Jesper, is likely to once again fill a bottom-six role, and it seems he'll have a better chance of sticking in the lineup with the Panthers. Still, he's not going to get impactful minutes to produce offense and he can be left undrafted in fantasy. Read Past Outlooks

Boqvist will miss Friday's tilt against St. Louis with an upper-body injury, Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Boqvist is on a two-game point streak and has five goals and 11 points in 33 outings this season. Adam Boqvist is expected to move up from the blueline if Sam Bennett (illness) is unable to go, as the Panthers have only 11 healthy forwards at this time.

2020
Boqvist's 10 goals and 21 points a season ago were nearly identical to the 10 goals and 23 points he managed in 2021-22, but the production came in 14 additional games. Unable to carve out a top-six role on a loaded Devils team, Boqvist failed to make a consistent impact. New Jersey declined to make the Swede a qualifying offer, allowing him to ink a one-year, $775,000 deal with Boston in free agency. Boqvist is still just 24 years old, but the odds are against him turning into a significant contributor with his new club, though the Bruins' suddenly thin center depth could help him stay in the lineup regularly.
Boqvist had a tough season in 2021-22. He missed time due to both injury and illness and even spent eight games with New Jersey's AHL affiliate in Utica. He ultimately played in 56 games with the Devils, posting 10 goals and 23 points. Boqvist will play nearly this entire upcoming season at age 24, so there's still hope for him, but New Jersey has shown no inclination to play him in a top-six or power-play role, severely dampening any future potential the Swede may possess. A change of scenery may be best for all parties concerned at this stage.
Boqvist dressed in 35 games for the Devils last season, finishing with an unimpressive four points, all goals. The 2017 second-round pick will hope to make more of an impact this time around, though an influx of rookie forwards competing for roster spots could push him out of the lineup altogether. He was lauded for his high-end skill as a prospect in Sweden, but the Boqvist buzz has faded significantly following his forgettable rookie season.
