Shea Theodore
Much speculation was made about the whereabouts of Shea Theodore during the summer. Countless trade proposals and ideas littered the internet, with people wondering what would happen to the defenseman.
"Will he be traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Mitch Marner?"
"Will Kelly McCrimmon re-sign him to a long-term deal?"
The latter looks like a good possibility, as the "Original Misfit" has six assists in six games. Three of those have come on the power play, resulting in the eighth-best power play in the league (26.3%). While Tomas Hertl gets plenty of love for boosting the unit, Theodore has run the unit well. He sees openings and acts upon them, giving his teammates the perfect scoring opportunities.
That man-advantage boost has led to the Golden Knights being the fourth-best offense in the league (4.14 goals per game). In turn, it's led to nine points for the team, putting them near the top of the Pacific Division. It might warrant bringing him back on board for a few more years, especially since he's a younger, bigger "Misfit" than Marchessault.
