We all would, but that's not a thing that's going to happen.

Not with Bergevin as Gm. Apparently they did offer a 2nd rd pick for Theodore, but Vegas said no, we want the 1st rd pick.
Yes but most here don't know him, hence the resulting ignorant remarks.

Why is that sad.... He's a much better D than Emelin at half the price.

Third pairing ideally, can play some second pairing when injuries hit. A lot like Emelin and Benn. ... more offence and puck moving than those guys, and less hitting though.
I think its a good move.

Vegas has no interest in moving theodore. He's 21 and will be a building block for them. Why do they want a first rounder for a 21 year old former first rounder who is now blossoming?
and I'm sure you are well versed in his career, strengths and weaknesses
He's been on what four/five teams in two years.
Most teams build from top pair down, Bergevin does the opposite, builds 5-8 and then hopes one can play top four.
Right now, even with this move, Davidson is our top signed left dman. How scary is that?

Anyone on here claiming to know much about this guy is lying. He's probably better than what we initially think, but no one is an expert on this guy. Even BKerr who doesn't seem to do much outside of researching hockey information is probably versing himself on this player now.

exactly
well we did end up with a better draft choice between those two, and did save the cap on Emelin
SFB likely would have made the same amount or more than the guy we picked up

Nate wasn't protected so there's a risk Emelin would still be on our payroll. Gotta move on past the expiration moves.

Yes, it seems I've heard his name involved in trades or some sort of move every few months for years. He must be being used to soak up slippage. And you're right, this sort of move is constant with us,move spare parts in and out, in and out, once exposed or whatever we move them along again. Seems like a waste of energy from management.Is every team spending this kind of time on this sort of thing I wonder....
These guys are all like Bergevin the player...maybe not as good

don't disagree...but any analysis will be more relevant in 3 weeks or so
