Nate Schmidt
6'0 195 lbs
Shoots Left
Plays Right Side D
Discuss player and not management please!
Personally, I'm way beyond excitied to add a Dman at this calibre to the team. Today, right now, I'd say he is better than Quinn Hughes, thats how good he is.
Watching him play throughout the last 3 yrs or so id describe him as Dan Hamhuis with elite skating, harder shot, and waay better offensive instincts and abilities.
If you have a moment just watch some of the hilights between Vegas and Winnepeg in the Western Conference Finals. Schmidt was just beautiful to watch. He was widely credited for the job he did vs Mark Scheifile.
Reading all reports, he was also a teammate favorite in the locker room which will be big considering the chemistry that has left the team this year. Nate was also one of the most giving person in terms of time in the community and volunteering in Las Vegas, he will fit right in with what the Canucks do around the community.
I think he will be paired with Alex Edler in what will become our top line matchup Defence.
Another thing that Nate gives us is insurance, god forbid something happens to Hughes, Nate can step in with PP1 and produce. Booming shot and elite vision.
