Of course there’s also that thing about him being far and away the best player we’ve heard associated with an Eichel deal since Matt Tkachuk kissed and made up with the Flames.

Theodore is listed as a RD/LD. He played on the right side in Anaheim. Also a 26yo D man with four years remaining at 5.2 would give you a nice haul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He not going to dangle or blow shots by people or blow people up. He projects as just a good, useful Sam Reinhart-level player. I find the idea they don't want to give him up for Eichel odd. I'd do that in a second if I was Vegas. Krebs could go along with the "3 or 4 2Cs" thing 1 hour ago, John Tucker said: At this point, get any assets that can help.

Thorny Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Theodore would be interesting. What would they do, play an all-left shot top 4? Power - Theodore Johnson - Dahlin As far as I know, unique... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashsabre Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 They just said during the Michigan game that Kevyn Adams is in the building. I know he is looking at Power (who made a fantastic play on Johnson’s goal) and Portillo but I wonder if he is looking at Brisson who almost scored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookie1 Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Theodore wouldn’t make much sense but he’s certainly a top end player. Perhaps we’d be sending Johnson with Eichel for Theodore & Tuch + Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 I've seen this "accumulate a bunch of defensemen and use them as trade assets" movie before. The ending was lousy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 If this team keeps winning does the urgency and inclination to acquire "now" pieces become greater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an interesting thought to ponder. If, unfortunately, Eichel is still here after Christmas and the team is playing consistently well and entrenched in 3rd place or higher, maybe they take, say, a pricier RHD in a deal. I personally would consider it -- it would tell the team that I believe in them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thought. But this would be akin to GMTM’s speed up the rebuild by sacrificing some of the future. Let’s do this right and let this play out and get the most possible for him. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. We’re not built for a deep playoff run this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
