What are the chances of re-signing this "Original Misfit?"

Shea Theodore is more than one of the most recognizable Vegas Golden Knights players around. He's also one of the most underrated players in franchise history. He's the overall leader in point shares and orchestrates the offensive attack well. That's why the "Original Misfit" scored 37 assists in 47 games last season, for he was an instrumental piece in Vegas making the Stanley Cup playoffs.

But he's not the only "Misfit" still on the team. Obviously, William Karlsson is still with the Golden Knights, scoring goals and creating special teams magic. He's been with Theodore since "Day F****** One," delighting fans with his personality and presence.

But wait! There's more!

Brayden McNabb is still on the team. Like Theodore, he's in the last year of his current deal as he'll hit free agency next summer. He's slightly different from his fellow "Misfit," for he blocks shots (1,107 in seven seasons with Vegas) and hits people (1,228 during his Vegas tenure). The defenseman has been a quiet part of the Golden Knights, adding bite to the forecheck.

Fans shouldn't expect him to come back with a $5 million AAV deal, for that would be crazy. Still, is there room to bring McNabb back on a modest deal? What pressing factors might prevent the franchise from getting a deal done with him? Here's a look at what fans should expect with the "Original Misfit" heading into next season.

The chances of the Vegas Golden Knights resigning Brayden McNabb

Let's be honest. There isn't much incentive to bring Brayden McNabb back next season. Plenty of defensemen are waiting in the wings, including Ben Hutton and Kaeden Korczak. These are cheaper options and will help the Vegas Golden Knights tackle other obstacles, including getting Jack Eichel a long-term deal. Considering the team's on a salary cap crunch, moving on from McNabb would make plenty of sense.

Plus, Shea Theodore would be the defenseman more likely to be re-signed for a long-term deal. He brings more value from an offensive standpoint, running the attack and power play efficiently. The "Original Misfit" might be much pricier than McNabb, given what he brings to the team. However, Kelly McCrimmon will likely start negotiating with the younger Theodore (Theodore is 29, while McNabb is 33).

While it'd be nice to keep the "Misfits" around for one more round, the NHL is a business. That business is winning and if McCrimmon showed us anything, it's that he's not afraid to move on from beloved franchise figures. Just ask Jonathan Marchessault, who didn't return to the Golden Knights with a new deal. That will be the same fate for McNabb, who'll likely find new pastures to call home next season.
