I could see Florida wanting to add Theodore, but not having the assets.
Toronto? But it's probably not a smart move IMO. Their GM could disagree with me. Only makes sense if Marner is involved, or Marner returns assets from a third team which are then flipped to Vegas for Theodore. It's maybe too complicated.
I could definitely see Rangers wanting to move Trouba out and replace with Theodore. That would probably involve a third team though, as Vegas is looking to move a D out without bringing another back, and also Trouba can block a bunch of teams based on his NTC.
Dallas could make sense, except for the fact that all 4 of their top 4 D would be left handed. Not ideal at all. Outside of that, Dallas DOES want a high end right-side D, and all of Benn, Faksa, Dadonov, Lindell and Suter come off the books next summer when Theodore would get a raise. It's conceivable that Dallas adds Theodore now but ends up keeping him long-term. Like I said though, do they really want 4 left-handed top 4 D?
St Louis works, but only if they're moving Krug, Parayko, Faulk or Leddy out this summer. Otherwise, no chance in hell IMO.
Edmonton makes a lot of sense in theory, but they don't have the assets. They'd probably only have to dump Ceci somewhere to make it work, which seems very reasonable based on Ceci's cap hit and only 1 year of term.
I could see it being a good fit with the Kings (with no extension, as a 1 year rental), but they aren't a legit contender right now and probably shouldn't be paying assets for one year rentals just yet.
I think Seattle is a good fit, IF they think they can extend Theodore long-term. No reason for them to bring him in as a 1 year rental.
Vancouver is maybe a good fit? I've seen that some Vancouver fans think so. They have a lot of guys they want to keep, especially Zadorov and Joshua, and not enough cap to keep all of them and give Hronek a big raise, so maybe this is something they would look at if they end up trading Hronek out. That way, there might be enough money for Theodore, Zadorov and Joshua. Maybe Lindholm too but IDK.
