It took most of the trade deadline for a Pittsburgh Penguins trade, but general manager Kyle Dubas made it a big one.
Dubas acquired Elmer Soderblom for the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for one of their two 2026 third-round picks (originally belonging to San Jose).
Soderblom is a large winger with surprisingly soft hands. The 24-year-old Swede is 6-foot-8, 246 pounds. He’s in his third professional season and has played NHL games in each.
This season, Soderblom has slumped to three points (1-2-3) in 39 games as his spot dropped in the Detroit lineup. Overall, Soderblom has 22 points (11-11-22) in 86 career regular-season games.
Detroit selected him in the sixth-round of the 2019 NHL Draft, and Soderblom played three seasons for Frolunda of the SHL. He tallied 38 points (24-14-38) in 90 career SHL games.
