Theodore is in the final season of his seven-year contract worth $5.2 million a year, and now he's getting a nice raise. Last season he scored five goals and added 37 assists for 42 points in 47 games. Throughout his career split between the Golden Knights and Anaheim Ducks, he has scored 72 goals and added 241 assists for 313 points in 503 games for an average of 0.62 points per game. He also won the Stanley Cup with the Golden Knights in the 2022-23 season.

He was drafted by the Ducks in the first round of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft at 26th overall after a strong showing with the Seattle Thunderbirds in the Western Hockey League (WHL). In the 2012–13 season with the Thunderbirds, he scored 19 goals and added 31 assists for 50 points in 71 games. He would make his NHL debut in the 2015-16 season, but only earned a full-time slot in the NHL in the 2018-19 season which was his second season with the Golden Knights.
