With the season well underway and no NHL opportunity materializing, defenseman Adam Boqvist has decided to head overseas. Geneve-Servette in Switzerland announced that they’ve inked the blueliner to a two-year contract.
Defenseman Adam Boqvist has signed a two-year contract with Swiss club Geneve-Servette after failing to secure an NHL opportunity for the ongoing season. The 26-year-old blueliner heads overseas as a free agent following a stint with the New York Islanders, who non-tendered him in June ahead of potential arbitration.
Originally selected eighth overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in 2018, Boqvist departs North America with 272 NHL appearances across seven seasons. Over his career with Chicago, the Columbus Blue Jackets, Florida Panthers, and Islanders, he recorded 27 goals, 76 assists, and 250 blocked shots.
