Every time I have watched Theodore play in the NHL (or previously, in the AHL), I think Klyington's play in the AHL would translate just as well to the NHL as Shea Theodore's play in the NHL.
TBH I think Theodore isn't as good as either Schmidt or Miller on Vegas' blue line, which wasn't really that great last year anyways as they benefited from some great goaltending and they were a team with great offensive luck. If Theodore were in Calgary, I don't believe he would be in our top four defense. He might be a better puck mover than Hamonic but he's overall just as shakey defensively as the younger Kylington.
Do I think it's a bad contract? Probably not, he'll probably grow into it as he gains experience. But I don't think of the player as a top pair defenseman.
