Prospect Info: 2019 #11 - Victor Soderstrom, D

[Jakey53]

My biggest complaint is I watched a **** ton of CHL hockey for naught.

Time to expand your horizons.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Who do we have to shtup to get a scorer here?

 

[lanky]

The draft is a crap shoot. The way it sounds many of the forwards who were thought to go high did not. I'm just glad we did not trade the pick.

I'm also happy we used the pick.

RD are hella expensive. He's going to join the Yotes fully developed after more time in the SHL and he'll be contributing on his ELC. Hammer and Demers are old. Crotty and Westerlund haven't stepped forward.

 

[Alberta Yote]

This was a great pick at 18!

 

[RemoAZ]

Who do we have to shtup to get a scorer here?

I think we have to become Chicago fans. Nobody loves guys that can't score goals like the Coyotes do.

 

[_Del_]

I agree. I think he’s going to be a solid pro. He’s going to be a nhl player. Is he signed next year?

You have to "hope" so after trading 14ov and #45 for him. If we stood at 14, I'd only be minorly annoyed. Trading up AND passing on the forwards we were hoping one of would be available is pretty #ing "bold". Or foolish.


This isn't a slag on Soderstrom as a prospect, but he shouldn't be above those guys on our list.

Death before dishonor! Haha if anyone ever sees me even think of rooting for the Hawks put me out of my misery! Haha

 

[RemoAZ]

 

[Muppet]

I swear OEL pronounces "Coyotes" differently every time he says it and it's gradually getting worse

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

Hayton - Soderstrom

Or

Krebs/Newhook - Bouchard/Dobson.

Which duo would you prefer?

 

[moosemeister]

Can’t Soderstrom play in Tucson this year?

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

So is this guy's ceiling Anton Stralman or is there more there?

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Can’t Soderstrom play in Tucson this year?

I think he's still got two more years on his Swedish contract, although I don't know if he has a Foreign Release Clause. I don't know how that works vs. KHL.

 

[lanky]

Can’t Soderstrom play in Tucson this year?

He could. I'd rather let him stay put.

19-20 SHL
20-21 AHL
21-22 NHL
22-23 HHOF
23-24 The Moon

I’m not shtupping a Chicago fan.

 

[DoanStopBelievin]

Saw a Josi comparison somewhere. Would love that. I’d assume that’s very best case scenario

 

[Jakey53]

Hayton - Soderstrom

Or

Krebs/Newhook - Bouchard/Dobson.

Which duo would you prefer?

Don't know yet. Time will tell.

 

[lanky]

Hayton - Soderstrom

Or

Krebs/Newhook - Bouchard/Dobson.

Which duo would you prefer?

Very debatable.

What is clear is that having the C being ready earlier is a good thing. Not a big rush for the D to be ready.

 

[RemoAZ]

I’m not shtupping a Chicago fan.

Damn I love the teams I love but if she's hot enough, I don't care who she roots for. Although a Cowboy fan would be reeeeealy difficult.

 

[Jagged Ice]

Hayton - Soderstrom

Or

Krebs/Newhook - Bouchard/Dobson.

Which duo would you prefer?

I go with Hughes/Boldy.
I'm not upset with this pick. I was at first but have to trust mgmt on this. (Cliché right there) This kid sounds like another Brodin. He stays home but is very very effective. I've read rumors that Minnesota really wanted him, maybe even Philly. Time will tell but I look forward to researching this kid further.

 

[Alberta Yote]

I go with Hughes/Boldy.

oh damn

 

[Jagged Ice]

oh damn

Right?
Both players were available. Marner too.

Yeah, was going on the assumption of a C and RHD selection

 

[Jagged Ice]

Gotcha.

Problem is, Soderstrom is basically Westerlund version 2.0. Except we essentially used our first and second round pick on him.
