SHEA THEODORE
Anaheim’s prospect pool runs deep on defense – and at the forefront of this stockpile of talent is 21-year-old Shea Theodore, who made his eagerly anticipated NHL debut last season.
Much is expected from the dynamic offensive defenseman from Langley, British Columbia. Theodore, of course, had a tremendous junior hockey career with the Seattle Thunderbirds of the Western Hockey League. There, he finished as Seattle's all-time leader in goals (58) and points (212) by a defenseman, and was a two-time Western Conference First All-Star and 2014-15 Defenseman of the Year.
After a dip in the water with the Norfolk Admirals of the American Hockey League in the spring of 2015 (where he posted four goals and 11 points in nine games), he began last season in the ‘A’ with the San Diego Gulls for the club’s inaugural AHL campaign.
