Nate Schmidt is a hybrid. Unique and invaluable in his balance.
An elite skater who uses that ability to both defend and create offense, Schmidt is not ordinary at either end of the ice. The 27-year-old led all Golden Knights skaters in ice time last season averaging 22:14 per game while scoring five goals and adding 31 assists. All while he and D partner Brayden McNabb played the hardest minutes on the Golden Knights roster - drawing the opposition's top players every night.
The sixth-year pro has agreed to a six-year and $35.7 million contract extension which kicks in next season. The deal carries an average annual value of $5.95 million.
