kimmer wroteCOLONI never said it was a casual add.
It's an add definitely to think on.
Hes got pretty unreal AHL numbers as a young dman. I know. It's not a secret.
However that's the fun of prospect hype/projection you see.
Will he literally be Erik fucking Karlsson and do the exact same #s in nhl?
Of course every man child in us hopes so (Esp the fantasy owner of Theodore himself), its not something I don't doubt that you think of this in ur dreams.
However yes, you should take into cool headed consideration much like how spring training numbers in mlb mean jack, same should be considered for a young guns AHL number. Anaheim defense is simply too deep atm for Shea to break into top 4 or anything ridic like that.
But for me, the fact that he does so well in AHL as a 20 yr old makes value offset appropriate.
So ya
Been high on him since before I joined BBKL. I remember when Chuck was my trade advisor, one of our first talks I told him I was gonna get Shea Theodore and he was gonna be an absolute beast for my backend down the line. Well I got him last September/October, and he has only impressed further since then. Moving him isn't on my priority list, or upgrading wingers, lots of things I'd rather be doing from a team building standpoint. He and DeAngelo are big parts of my young core I'm assembling, when they push players off my roster it will be when I really start contending.
