He's shown me he has a higher floor than I thought. I'm not sure what his ceiling will be point-wise, but his ability to hang on to the puck, to control it through traffic and in corners, brings a ton of value, and a fair amount of points will come from that over time.
Straight up, he's a possession player, and right now I'd like to see him with Copp and Perron on L2, rather than Zadina there. I know it won't happen; the current big line is doing well, he gets to be a little sheltered there as he continues to acclimate to the NHL, and they're still trying to jumpstart Zadina. But I'm ready for a bigger opportunity for Soderblom, whenever that may come.
