We crack on with our 2018-19 Report Cards today by focussing on Shea Theodore who is now arguably the Vegas Golden Knights’ most valuable blueliner following yet another dominant year.
Shea Theodore is an elite, two-way defenseman who, at 23-years-old, isn’t anywhere near his prime yet but is currently playing at the peak of his powers.
After being traded to the Golden Knights by the Anaheim Ducks during the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft, Theodore enjoyed a strong first year in Vegas.
He posted six goals and 23 assists for 29 points along with a plus/minus rating of +5, in addition to 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in 20 games as the Knights marched their way to the Stanley Cup Final.
