Former Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Adam Boqvist is experiencing an extended period on the bench, raising questions about his future with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Boqvist, who has now been a healthy scratch for six consecutive games, has not set foot on the ice in over 15 days.
This extended benching is sparking trade rumors, as fans and analysts speculate about Boqvist's role in the Blue Jackets' plans. His absence from the lineup is making many wonder if he could be on the move.
Interestingly, the Chicago Blackhawks, who regretted trading away Boqvist at a young age, might be considering a reunion. Boqvist's potential addition to the Blackhawks would align with their rebuilding plans and could greatly benefit the team.
Boqvist isn't the only Blue Jackets defenseman facing a prolonged stint as a healthy scratch. Kirill Marchenko is also benched for the second consecutive game, while Andrew Peeke is facing his eighth straight healthy scratch.
As the NHL season progresses, the situation surrounding Adam Boqvist and the Blue Jackets' defensemen will continue to be a point of interest for hockey fans and analysts alike. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story and the potential reunion with the Blackhawks.
