The Avalanche signed Soderberg to a five-year deal Friday, worth an average of $4.75 million per season, ESPN.com reports. The move comes one day after the Avs acquired Soderberg (who was set to become am unrestricted free agent) in a trade that sent a sixth-round draft pick to the Bruins. Soderberg, who turns 30 in October, recorded 13 goals and 44 points in 82 games for Boston this season, but with Bruins dealing with salary cap issues, the team elected to move on. The 6-3 pivot brings good offensive instincts to the table and will boost the Avs' depth down the middle, with the addition of Soderberg possibility hinting that fellow center Ryan O'Reilly may be on the move.
