Boqvist should stay in OHL one more year. He might be the best prospect the Hawks have, but he's also the furthest away from being NHL ready. There are a few other guys that should get a chance to show what they have first anyway.

also the furthest away from being NHL ready. Not sure I agree because most of them will never be ready, or even close.

Most prospects are overrated anyway. Here's a clip of a hockey fan coming to check up on the progress of his favourite team's latest highly touted prospect:
Not everyone can be a saviour, I guess. I think it was Kyle Beach in the crib actually.

The Blackhawks have signed forward Philipp Kurashev to a three-year deal that will run through the 2021-'22 season, they announced Tuesday afternoon.
The average annual value of the contract will be $925,000. Kurashev will remain with the Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL.
Kurashev, 19, leads the Remparts in points (62), goals (28) and assists (34) in 57 games this season. The Blackhawks selected him in the fourth round of the 2018 draft.

Does the Q still have tons more goals than the other CHL leagues? In that being over PPG as a 19 year old isn't very impressive, right?

Why is the OHL so soft nowadays? A lot of real tough guys and power forwards used to come out of there.

No point in playing a tough game in junior when the NHL is moving completely away from it...
