Blackhawks have re-signed Arvid Soderblom to a 2-year contract with a $962,500 cap hit.

Extremely cheap for a guy with such high upside who’s expected to be in the NHL both of those years.

The 23-year-old Swedish netminder was undrafted and appeared in 15 games for the Blackhawks in 2022-23, posting a 3.45 GAA and a .894 Sv.%. He's projected to get the majority of the minutes next season in Chicago as they begin their rebuild with projected #1 overall pick Connor Bedard.

Soderblom has appeared in the playoffs the past two seasons for the AHL's Rockford IceHogs, appearing in five games both seasons.

#Blackhawks have inked 23-year-old goaltender Arvid Soderblom to a two-year contract extension with a $962,500 AAV through the 2024-25 season!

Soderblom went 15-12-5 with a 2.92 GAA & 905 Sv% in 33 games with Rockford this season. Seems likely that he’ll be the backup next year. https://t.co/QWkDc43oMu
