I believe Hela will have some link with the Soul Stone in Thor: Ragnarok. Hela is the ruler of Hel which is the home of the dead. And dead beings surely have something to do with souls.

Apart from that, I have many theories about what can happen with the Soul Stone in Ragnarok:

1. Hela probably has the Soul Stone and using it, she might try to draw the life force of all the souls of the Asgardians into her, to make herself all powerful.

2. The soul stone can also be on the planet where the gladiatorial contest between Thor and Hulk is going to take place. I think the reward of the contest's winner will be an artifact which contains the soul stone. And later Thor might use it to defeat Hela.

3. Hela can be the containment of the soul stone itself because she's the ruler of Hel and has the ability to manipulate the souls.
