I wonder how much this has to do with the emergence of Brandon Montour and his ability to fulfil Vatanen's role, along with Fowler being back. At the same time, Montour missed the game last night, so I guess this would indicate that it's not anything too serious or you'd think they'd delay this trade a few games until they have a reasonably full blue line again.
Still, losing Theodore to Vegas and now Vatanen really depletes the depth of that defensive core.
