Jose Theodore is looking for a fresh start in The Sunshine state. The former Minnesota Wild netminder left the The North Star State this summer to bring his talents to South Beach. The 2002 Hart and Vezina trophies winner indicated from the get go his preference to play in Florida, where his parents vacation in nearby Boca Raton. Florida is an ideal choice for Theodore at this stage in his career and fully expects to play well under the sun. Theo had a surprisingly solid season last year backing up Niklas Backstrom, finishing the regular campaign with a winning record (15-11-3). Theodore also posted a 2.71 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage in 32 games. It's going to be another long season in Miami and Theodore should be avoided if possible in fantasy drafts, especially in leagues that use losses as a scoring category.
