Just when we thought that Vancouver Canucks seriously decided to sit out this year’s offseason, they went on and made a big move. The team announced on Tuesday that they have acquired veteran defenseman Nate Schmidt in a trade with Vegas Golden Knights.

Canucks sent a third-rounder in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft to Golden Knights in exchange for Schmidt.

While not a franchise-altering move, the acquisition of Schmidt is a great pickup for Vancouver. The 29-year-old defenseman is a proven player in the league and is expected to be a valuable member of the rotation. Also, he’ll provide Canucks with a badly needed depth amid the departures of Chris Tanev and Troy Stecher.

“Nate has been one of the top defencemen in our division in recent years,” said Vancouver’s general manager Jim Benning. “He’s a dynamic player who competes hard all over the ice. I think he will be a really good fit in our group.”

Golden Knights, on the other hand, were not so interested in a draft pick as in getting some salary relief. By shipping Nate Schmidt, Vegas can now finalize the signing of defenseman Alex Pietrangelo and give themselves the luxury of considering other moves.

Over the course of his NHL career, Schmidt suited up for Washington Capitals and Golden Knights. He has 29 goals and 111 assists for a total of 140 points in 396 games in the league.

Vegas Golden Knights continue to do a good job of tying up their key players to long-term deals. After giving their forward Alex Tuch a new contract, the team now also signed their defenseman Nate Schmidt to a six-year deal. Schmidt’s new contract, which runs through the 2024-25 season, is reportedly worth $35.7 million in total value or $5.95 million annually.

Golden Knights confirmed the news on Wednesday.

“He is the kind of defenseman that every team in this league is looking for now,” – said Golden Knights’ general manager George McPhee said. “He is unique, excellent defensively and has become a shutdown defenseman for us playing against the other clubs’ top players. But he also brings a lot of pace to the game, and he brings offense.“

After getting selected by Vegas in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft, Nate Schmidt went on to play the best season of his career and was one of the team’s key players on the road to Stanley Cup Finals. The 27-year-old led the Golden Knights in average playing time while managing five goals and 31 assists in the regular season.

“He means a lot,” – added coach Gerard Gallant. “He’s a top player for us. He’s done a great job playing defense for us last year. Obviously he got a real nice contract that he deserves, and we miss him a lot. So he’s a big player for our group, and we’re happy to have him for the long term.“

Although he signed a new deal, Nate Schmidt will have to wait for November 18th, before he can play again for his club. Schmidt was suspended by NHL in September for violating league’s performance-enhancing drug policy and will miss the first 20 games of the 2018-19 season.
