On Saturday afternoon, Edmonton Oilers prospect Tim Soderlund cleared unconditional waivers and had his contract terminated by the club.
It didn't take Soderlund too long to find a new team as according to Aftonbladet, he's signed with Djurgardens IF of the Swedish Hockey League.
"We get a skating strong player who is offensively skilled and who has great qualities in the attack zone. Tim is also a great Djurgårdare and has always had a desire to play here at Hovet in our colors," says Djurgårdens acting sports director KG Stoppel.
Soderlund, 23, was originally selected in the fourth round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft by the Chicago Blackhawks. In July 2021, Chicago traded him, along with veteran defenceman Duncan Keith to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for defenceman
Caleb Jones and a conditional pick in the 2022 draft.
