24-Year-Old Left WingLW
Pittsburgh Penguins
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Taken with the No. 159 overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, Soderblom has never had a secure path to the NHL. Still, he has battled his way forward, leading to him recording five goals and 17 points in 38 regular-season outings with AHL Grand Rapids as well as four goals and 11 points in 26 appearances with Detroit in 2024-25. The 24-year-old is a towering presence at 6-foot-8, 246 pounds. He doesn't get into a ton of trouble despite that size, but he is certainly willing to play a physical game, which led to him getting six PIM and 43 hits with Detroit last year. He might earn a bottom-six spot with Detroit this season and would be a solid candidate for 20-30 points and 125-150 hits if he spends the full campaign in that role. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a two-year, $2.25 million contract with the Red Wings in July of 2025.
Headed for Steel City
LWPittsburgh Penguins
March 6, 2026
Soderblom was traded to Pittsburgh from Detroit on Friday in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick.
ANALYSIS
Soderblom is currently mired in a 16-game pointless streak and has served as a healthy scratch for the last three games. All signs of a young player in need of change, something general manager Kyle Dubas has frequently targeted. It cost the Penguins a third-round pick they previously acquired from San Jose. Soderblom should be in the mix for a bottom-six role with the Pens but may find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Soderblom got his first taste of the NHL in 2022-23 when he played 21 games with the Red Wings, scoring five times while adding three assists. Detroit kept him in the minors for the entire 2023-24 campaign, as he had 13 goals and 29 points in 61 games with Grand Rapids. The 23-year-old has a chance to break training camp with the big club as he is a towering winger - six-foot, six inches and 220 pounds. Should Soderblom make the Red Wings out of camp, it will be as a bottom-six forward at best and thus, he is unlikely to garner any consideration in fantasy drafts.
