The other incorrect premise in your question is that the THC is a zero - sum game as far as tropical and extratropical North
Atlantic upper ocean heat content (and SST) is concerned.

The team, which includes Professor Baldwin, will lead innovative new research, which aims to advance current understanding of three key conditions that influence seasonal weather across the continent — the North
Atlantic upper -
ocean heat content, Arctic sea - ice, and the stratosphere.
Slow variations in
upper ocean heat content that have been observed in the subpolar and marginal ice zone regions of the
Atlantic since the mid-twentieth century are thought to be related to changes in the strength of the
Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC).
These trends are also accompanied by rising sea levels and
upper ocean heat content over similar multi-decadal time scales in the tropical
Atlantic.
