Fantasy Summary
Skillful center with strong off-puck movement and puck protection mechanics. Skating and defensive game need to improve to unlock his second-line upside.

June 2024 – Boisvert was selected 18th overall by the Hawks. Pat Quinn
April 2024 – Boisvert is quite the case study. There’s little denying how easy it is to see Boisvert play an NHL role. He’s got the size, IQ and shot to be an NHL center to some capacity. There are amazing moments of skill too, Boisvert loves to abuse his long reach and will make nice slip passes, or booming cuts to get his shot off. Those moments are great and if they’re enough to convince one of Boisvert’s upside, that’d be fair. There are just as many moments where Boisvert can leave you wanting. This player that is being laid out: the big, skilled, intelligent center with serious offensive skill should look more active then Boisvert is. That lack of “oomph” or dynamism keeps Boisvert away from the “top-6” center upside he should be garnering but I still believe he could be a very good matchup-focused middle 6 centremen and at his current range, that’s a very respectable pick to make, but you can’t help but wonder how much more might be beneath the surface.

April Rankings: 25th
November 2023 – Boisvert is an interesting profile. Most of his points early on this year came off of high-skill plays, but ones that aren’t quite repeatable. As his highlight-reel plays decreased, however, his game got more nuanced and scout-friendly.
The Lumberjacks forward has some clear weaknesses — the lack of knee bend in his skating holds him back as he struggles to cut back against pressure and get involved in offensive transitions, and his defensive game falters as a result as well — but the upside is there. He makes plays in-stride, identifies his next play early, and knows when to let on-ice scenarios develop instead of rushing his ideas. He then executes well with a solid shot, great hands and adept passing skills. If he gets drafted to a team with a track record of improving their prospects’ skating strides, expect considerable growth out of Boisvert. Hadi Kalakeche
