The long wait for the arrival of Swedish Elite League star Carl Soderberg may be coming to an end soon. Soderberg has reportedly agreed to a contract with the Boston Bruins that is three years in length. There is no reports on how much money the contract is for. Soderberg was drafted in the second round of the 2004 Draft and was acquired from the St. Louis Blues in 2007 for Hannu Toivonen.

In order for Soderberg to officially become a Bruin, he will have to agree to a deal with Boston, the Bruins would have to buy out his SEL contract, and the IIHL would have to approve the buyout. B’s GM Peter Chiarelli says that he hopes Soderberg will agree to terms before the end of the season so that he can join the team and be in the playoff mix.

Soderberg could be a great offensive help which could propel the Bruins deeper in the playoffs as that is their biggest weakness right now. Hopefully all reports are true and Carl Soderberg is in a Boston Bruins’ uniform before the season ends.
