Congrats to Soderstrom on an amazing season. Champion and broke Lundqvist's record for lowest GA in the regular season. Hopefully he's in an Isle's uniform soon. He'll be ready in a season or two.

Hard to judge goalies but I would go Sorokin. All that being said I would say Soderstrom probably plays a more typical NHL style so if you are playing it safe pick him

Im curious if his Aspergers Syndrome will get in the way of a NHL career at all. Hopefully not cause it sounds like he could be a real impressive goalie in the NHL

If I was voting for playoff MVP, Söderström would be one of my top candidates (I'd probably vote Önerud, Söderström and Sandberg, in that order). Both Söderström and Sorokin has played really well for really good teams this season.

What's his injury? He's only played four hockey games the last two season. Is it going to end his career prematurely?

There's been some recent talk about clubs in HockeyAllsvenskan wanting to sign him, including last years top team Björklöven. Last year he apparently was healthy but didn't get to play.

Wait he was healthy last year but wasn’t played at any level last year, Who’s decision was that? What am I missing here?

He was hurt again.

It's weird, his agent says he was healthy, but Hockeysverige's interview has Linus himself outlining his injuries throughout the year, saying he didn't get a shot at proving himself due to injuries and such. His only injury free month was September.

This is a bizarre one... How highly rated was he prior to all the injuries—I remember some buzz but maybe I’m dreaming that up.
