Colorado Avalanche: Big Old Carl Soderberg Scores Shootout Winner
The Colorado Avalanche got to hail a new hero tonight when Carl Soderberg scored in the shootout to win the game for the team.
Just two years ago, Colorado Avalanche fans were surreptitiously looking at Carl Soderberg‘s five-year contract with it’s $4.75 annual cap hit and wondering how soon we could buy it out. In the 48-Point Lost Season, he earned just 14 points in 80 games.
Even last season, when he still had three years left, we were wondering if we’d buy out two years — this season and next — or burn the fourth season off. He was better in his third year here, but we still only got 37 points from him.
