Confirmed with Link: [COL/CHI] Avs Acquire Carl Soderberg for J.Dickinson and R.Rolston

[Northern Avs Fan]

I like it.

They gave up nothing for a low-end 3C that knows the system. He’s on pace for 36 points this year.

This is Jost insurance if he reverts back to bad Jost.

Big Ol’ Carl is back.

I mean better than having to run Sheldon Dries out there...

I think everyone soured on him some in his last playoffs, including myself, but I'm still glad to see Soda back at that price. He's slow but smart enough to make it work within the style of the team on the bottom six.

@The Kingslayer in full panic

He going to put this PK to the test

 

[henchman21]

I love this deal! Carl knows the system and can still play a 3C role well while helping a 2nd pp and pk.

Interesting that Sakic went after two depth guys who are already familiar with Bednar's system. That was probably a big consideration here.

5 Swedes on the roster now

Comeau is next isn't he

Or Kerfoot

The Finns around here are going to melt down.

Yep, and the price was dirt cheap.

Too many and I say that as a Swede hehe.

 

[The Pwnerer]

We should have never traded him in the first place. Only issue is that he has a pretty bad playoff track record. Hopefully he can thrive in the bottom six role. We don't need him to step up as we did 3 years ago.

 

[18Mike18]

I love this deal. Didn't give up much for depth. A RHD would be great too.

 

[Freudian]

I guess as injury insurance he's fine, but I don't think he can contribute all that much anymore.

 

[Richard88]

Soderberg is 7th in points/60 in Chicago this season.

Pretty poor possession metrics this year, albeit on a crap team.

[arun]

I hear we’re bringing back barrie as well.

 

[Hennessy]

Not an exciting get, but we know what he brings. Hopefully he finds a little more offense to go with his workmanship on the PK and the dot.

 

[klozge]

We'll see. Potentially a smart trade.

 

[Hasbro]

Hot Carl!

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

What's Foppa up to these days?

Its nice to see... dont know how serviceable he is these days. Ill see you guys in the playoffs. GL

 

[The Kingslayer]

Its just added depth and they didn't give up anything to get him. I have zero issues with this. Injury insurance for a team who has a horrible history of it plus another C. Why people melting down lol

 

[RockyMtnRedhawk]

The one guy we should've brought back, Bernier, we didn't.....

(The trade is fine. Didn't really give up anything, and it's good depth. Same with Nemeth.)

 

[Islay1989]

He is a good player we aquired for nothing. He must be estatic to get back here.
