Victor Söderström Traded to Boston Bruins

Victor Söderström's rights have been traded to the Boston Bruins, confirmed by the NHL club in a press release.

Will Victor Söderström, 24, remain with Brynäs?

This was the question many Brynäs supporters eagerly awaited a definitive answer to.

Recently, reports emerged that the Chicago Blackhawks, where the Swedish defenseman was traded from Utah, would not offer him a new contract.

At that moment, many Brynäs fans hoped to see Söderström in the SHL for another season.

However, it seems that will not be the case.

Last night, the club announced that they are trading the Swede to the Boston Bruins in exchange for defenseman Ryan Mast and a seventh-round pick in this summer's draft.

Victor Söderström scored 37 points in 49 SHL games for Brynäs last season.
