Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced today, June 14, that the team has signed defenseman Victor Soderstrom to a one-year, two-way contract through the 2025-26 season with an NHL cap hit of $775,

The Arizona Coyotes, before they became the Utah Hockey Club, selected Victor Soderstrom in the first round (11th overall) in the 2019 NHL Draft. During the 2024-25 season, Utah traded him to the Blackhawks along with Aku Raty and the contract of Shea Weber for a fifth-round pick in 2026.

Hoping defenseman Victor Soderstrom can make good on his lofty draft status, the Bruins sent Ryan Mast and a seventh rounder to Chicago in return.
