2019 NHL Draft prospect profile: Victor Söderström is the mobile defender you’re looking for
Brynäs IFVictor Söderström caught Magnus Sundquist off guard this season, the Brynäs head coach admitted to Eyes On The Prize after a game against Växjö.
“I didn’t have anything to do one night in Gävle when I just had been appointed as a coach,” Sundquist explained. “I went to catch a game with the U20s. I had heard about Victor as a talent, but not anything else. Then, when saw Victor play, I said to myself, ‘He is too good to play with the U20’s, he should play in the senior team.’
“His transition from the junior to professional level was smooth. You would expect a dip in play, but that never happened. That is all down to the hockey IQ that he possesses.”
