Nate Schmidt Traded To Vancouver
4 years agoThe Vancouver Canucks acquired defenseman Nate Schmidt from the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for a 2022 third-round draft pick on Monday. The 29-year-old spent the last three seasons in Vegas, posting his best point-per-game number (0.52) in 2019-2020 with 31 points (seven goals, 24 assists) in 59 contests. Schmidt will likely eat big minutes on Vancouver's blue line and could be a very nice match on a pair with young superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes at even-strength. With decent peripherals (plus-11 rating, 112 shots, 91 blocks last season), the Minnesota native should be closely monitored as a good depth option in most fantasy formats when the 2020-2021 season begins.
