Are the Golden Knights elite defense days over?

The NHL Network dropped Shea Theodore to 19th in its Top 20 defensemen poll. Are the Golden Knights days of having elite defensemen over?  No other defensemen are listed in the poll. We ask is VGK's blueline reputation crushed? Dylan Larkin's name keeps floating around and the Golden Knights are one of four teams that have reached out about a deal for the star center.  However, Detroit says it now wants a team's star center in exchange.  And, VGK will not part with Jack Eichel, who has a new contract that takes effect this season.  And a poll of 19,000 fans ranks teams that will not win a Stanley Cup over the next decade.  FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.
