Contract-wise, his Value score of 10 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Arvid Soderblom's story
Born 19 August 1999, Arvid Söderblom came up through the Swedish system and established himself as a goaltender in his home country before moving to North America. Public records show a steady climb through Sweden's top clubs that prepared him for the next step.
Prior to joining the NHL, Söderblom played in the Swedish Hockey League with Frölunda HC and Skellefteå AIK. Those stops in the SHL represent his professional grounding and provided the platform that led to interest from across the Atlantic.
On 13 May 2021 he signed a two-year contract with the Chicago Blackhawks, officially beginning his NHL chapter. Söderblom made his league debut on 1 January 2022 versus the Nashville Predators, facing 18 shots and allowing three goals in a 6–1 loss. The following day, 2 January 2022, he made his home debut against the Calgary Flames, conceding four goals on 41 shots in a 5–1 result.
Off the ice, his younger brother Elmer Söderblom is also in the NHL, playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins, a fact that points to a family deeply involved in professional hockey.
The public record for Söderblom outlines a clear path: development in the SHL, a two-year NHL contract with Chicago, and consecutive early appearances at the start of 2022. Those first games in the NHL illustrate the immediate challenge of adjusting to the league and mark the opening chapters of his North American career.
