This afternoon a new report has surfaced revealing that the Utah Hockey Club could be looking to trade one of their top young defensemen over the last several years.

The Utah Hockey Club has started off its existence as a franchise with a bang. At the NHL Draft, they selected the son of former Hall of Fame player Jarome Iginla Tij Iginla. Then on day 2 of the NHL Draft GM Bill Armstrong made several major upgrades to their NHL roster trading for Mikhail Sergachev and John Marino.

These trades majorly upgraded the Utah Hockey Club defense it also made some of their defensemen on last year's squad more expendable. With this in mind, there are now reports that former first-round pick Victor Soderstrom could be on the move soon.

In a new post on X, Utah Hockey Club insider and reporter Craig Morgan revealed that while the team is open to bringing back former top pick Victor Soderstrom they are also willing to trade him.

With Victor Soderstrom only being 23 years old he still has plenty of potential in front of him. The Utah Hockey Club seems to be in a win-now mode which could mean moving Victor Soderstrom to a new team where he can shine and develop more.

As the offseason continues to play out this situation will continue to develop but the longer that Victor Soderstrom remains unsigned the more likely a trade becomes.
