5 Players At Development Camp That Could Make New Jersey Devils

Jesper Boqvist

This one is probably the least likely, but one the Devils should look into. Jesper Boqvist has skill for days. The 2017 second-round pick will spend his second straight season in the Devils development camp, giving head coach John Hynes a very good look at his skill set.

Boqvist has the ability to use his speed and skill to score beautiful goals. The Swedish winger could easily slot in on one of the open right wing slots.

Boqvist’s numbers are nothing to go home about. He was injured last season, which held him to just three goals in 23 games for Brynas IF in the Swedish league. It’s clear it was a lost season after wrist surgery took weeks off of his development.

Boqvist has to take the utmost advantage of this week’s teachings. His work overseas did not instill much confidence, so he has to prove he’s above that. Again, Bratt’s work overseas was not very good, but that didn’t stop him from breaking into the lineup. Boqvist could do the same thing.
