LINUS SODERSTROM - Goalie - 22 - Drafted 2014 #95 Overall
LAST UPDATED 1/29/19
Despite falling to the fourth round, Soderstrom is one of the Isles' best chances at finding that elusive goalie of the future. While it goes without saying that goaltenders are incredibly volatile prospects and no prospect, no matter the track record, is anything close to a sure bet, Soderstrom has all the physical and mental tools to become a #1. He's got great instincts and squares up to shooters nicely and consistently. His numbers, like most under-23 goalie prospects, have fluctuated, between great numbers on a strong HV71 team (.943 sv%) and worse number struggling the following year in a short 14 game stint. (.894 sv%) If Soderstrom, once he arrives from Sweden to North America, can keep his numbers above .910 sv% and start a decent amount of games for Bridgeport, he could eventually become the goalie every Isles fan has been waiting for.
