PATTYB NOTES: Damn it feels like Boedker has been considered a prospect forever, I mean he has already played 117 NHL games so it might have been a poor decision to put him on here. I feel like Boedker needs to finally stick in the NHL, no more being the 1st call-up, he needs to find a way to stay up.
