I have a feeling that Anaheim is going to trade one of their D-Man for a forward and give a spot to Theodore.
Theodore vs Pulock vs Deangelo
Prospect draft coming up this weekend and I will very likely have a shot at one of these three young d-men, who are the only "top 215 prospects" available in our pool. Clearly Dobber ranks Deangelo the highest in terms of offensive upside but I also want to weigh in the following factors:
- how soon they make the nhl (I would like the pick to be active in my lineup next year due to a forecasted cap crunch)
- peripheral stats: hits, blocks, PIMS, SOG
Theodore is awfully tempting based on what he has done so far in his call-up, which suggests he will make the team full time next year. I hear Pulock is close too but Deangelo is an unknown to me. Based on my criteria who would you choose?

Re: Theodore vs Pulock vs Deangelo
Agree that Theodore is the closest and by no means is he a slouch in the attacking zone, but DeA's offensive potential is hard to ignore.
But given you want someone ready next year, go with Theodore.

Re: Theodore vs Pulock vs Deangelo
Talent
DeAngelo
Theodore
Pulock
Arrival
Theodore - this season
Pulock - 100% next season
DeAngelo - 50/50 next season
DeAngelo is a shot machine and will take more PIM's than the other two. Like Bottlenecker said, its tough to ignore his upside, if you need a player now/next season - Theodore is the safe pick. If you can wait an additional year DeAngelo should be ready.(unless he gets Yzermaned!)

Re: Theodore vs Pulock vs Deangelo
I'd go...
1. Theodore (Safest bet by far and big upside).
2. DeAngelo (The riskiest but best upside).
3. Pulock (I'm losing faith in Isles prospects).

Re: Theodore vs Pulock vs Deangelo
Agree with what's been said already.
1. Theodore
2. Deangelo
3. Pulock
Deangelo has the highest upside but the wait is longer and there's no guarantees he'll reach it.

Re: Theodore vs Pulock vs Deangelo
I agree that DeAngelo has the bigger upside, but I'm always wary of small-ish defencemen with big offensive tools and raw defensive abilities. That isn't to say that he can't become great one day, but generally I don't trust NHL coaches on contending teams to allow their small, young defencemen to grow into the position like DeAngelo would have to.
Being slightly risk-averse in this area, I'd take Theodore under pretty much any circumstance except a complete, no-holds-barred rebuild.
