Adam Boqvist News
The Blue Jackets have acquired Adam Boqvist, the No.12 overall pick, a 2021 second-round pick and a 2022 first-round pick from the Blackhawks for Seth Jones, the No.32 overall pick and a 2022 sixth-round pick.

Boqvist was the No.8 overall pick in 2018 and enjoyed some success in his first full NHL season in 2021. The 20-year-old had two goals with 14 assists (16 points) in 35 games with the Blackhawks last year and will likely see a massive workload increase in 2021-22. Boqvist could replace Jones on the Blue Jackets' top-pairing with Zach Werenski.

Boqvist was added to the COVID-19 reserve list on Monday.

Getting added to the COVID-19 reserve list means that Boqvist likely will not be available for the Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back in Nashville. Boqvist's roommate Alex DeBrincat was also added to the list, so Chicago could be without two of their best offensive weapons in a tough series with the Predators.
