What happens with Shea Theodore and the Vegas Golden Knights?
Shea Theodore has dealt with a wave of trade rumors and proposals throughout the summer. He's been linked to numerous teams, including a Mitch Marner-centered deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs. However, those rumors are dying each passing day, indicating the defenseman is here for the season.
Even with the trade rumors squashed, there are still questions about his future with the Vegas Golden Knights. According to Elliotte Friedman, there have been no talks of a contract extension between either party. That could mean another "Original Misfit" goes out the door next summer, leaving William Karlsson as the lone wolf.
But there could also be an incentive to bring the star blue-liner back, especially when compared to Marchessault. For one, Theodore is younger (he's 29 compared to his "Misfit" counterpart being 33). He's also bigger (6'2", 197 lbs.) and runs the power play as efficiently as Marchessault did. While there's re-signing Jack Eichel, getting Theodore back and figuring out the rest later doesn't hurt, either.
