Another player from the 2019 draft hits the trade block and Hughes could benefit
The Utah hockey team has just placed an 11th overall pick on the NHL trade market, and this is good news for Kent Hughes and the Canadiens.
According to the announcement, Victor Soderstrom is officially available on the market, and the asking price in return is reportedly not very high.
«We also learn that even though Utah is open to re-signing defenseman Victor Soderstrom, who is a restricted free agent, the team is also exploring trades for the 11th overall pick of 2019.
Soderstrom, 23, has yet to establish himself in the NHL, playing 53 games over the last three seasons.» - Craig Morgan, journalist
With major defensive acquisitions for Utah, like Mikhail Sergachev and John Marino, it will be difficult for Soderstrom to secure a significant role in this defensive brigade.
