Bye Yeti... You surprised us all when you came over from Malmo. Wish we could keep you on our 3rd line somehow...best of luck in DEN (assuming a deal gets done.)

 

[Gator Mike]

Good job, Don Sweeney.

Should have dealt him at the deadline, though.

 

[ranold26]

Good night sweet prince

 

[BruinDust]

Well at least that's something in return for Carl.

 

[northeastern]

game on!

I liked Yeti.

ROR is out so they want to sign Soda to replace him, hopefully Soda gets a great deal.

 

[Hali33]

Good to get something for him.

 

[bob27]

Happy to get some return!

Bruins fans - quick assessment on Soderberg? Seems more like a good #3 center who can fill in on a second line than a true #2 center to me but what are your thoughts?

No surprise The Yeti heads to the snowy mountains of Colorado.

That's the best we could do?

New GM; same hose job.

Man, we're screwed.

Big, above average skater, good hands, good passer, needs to shoot more, sound defensively, very streaky.

First full season in the NHL... held up as a #3 admirably; struggled a little bit when leaned on to be a #2. I think with another year in the NHL, he could be a formidable #2 (perhaps not the best solution, but I think he'll be adequate on a mid-tier team).

With (and somewhat without) complete hindsight, wish the Bruins offloaded him at the deadline; would have gotten a better pick than 6th at least.

What were you expecting in exchange for a guy that's literally days away from unrestricted free agency? We're lucky we got anything in return.

For a deal to be made long before that.

We certainly weren't getting anything more for him at this point.

Thanks. He'll probably slide around between 2 and 3 for us (assuming we get him signed...would hope so). Either we go strong down the middle with Duchene-MacKinnon-Soderberg or move Mack to the right wing and slide Soderberg up.

 

[Salem13]

He got something.

He is currently 5 days from losing him for not.


All hail the Sweener!

He is big, strong and very heavy on the puck when healthy (we had a broken Yeti most of the year) very good out of the corners if he has somebody in the slot.

With Colorado being home of Yeti beer at the Great Divide Brewery it is a perfect match!

Edit: I believe he can be a #2 center with the right wings.

Has all the tools. Had very good chemistry with Eriksson. Could end up being a very nice addition for you guys given the young talent you can surround him with. Soderberg and Landeskog...already a swedish connection.

How about now we send you Eriksson for Iginla ???
