The left-handed Swede is coming off his second full season in the NHL. He had 48 points in 73 games in 2013-14 and 44 points in 82 games in 2014-15. At 29, and coming off a three-year contract worth $3,025,000, the six-foot-three center can make for a good bargain-bin option for a middle-six player that can add offensive depth.
Soderberg ran at a 48.2 success rate in the faceoff circle, but took the second most draws on the Bruins. The 766 faceoffs he took were second only to Patrice Bergeron, who took a league-high 1951.
