Dominic Tiano on Twitter @dominictiano is reporting that Soderberg's camp has reached out to the Bruins management about an extension.
The story on Soderberg has always been that he is loyal almost to a fault, it's why he stayed in the SEL for so long. If that holds true, the Bruins could hope that he would take a slightly below market deal to stay with the only NHL team he knows.
The question is - what is he worth?
His value is slightly depressed in Boston with both Krejci and Bergeron ahead of him taking up significant dollars, but Chiarelli/Claude place significant value in depth down the middle.
I'd love the Yeti in a B's uniform for a while. He's on a 70 point pace right now with good defensive abilities. He is what we hoped Loui might be. I think that's incredibly valuable.
