Get to Know a Golden Knight: Nate Schmidt

Birthplace: St. Cloud, MN | Acquired: Hmm... can’t recall

Assets: Has excellent puck-moving skills and can jump-start the counter-attack effectively from the back end. Is capable of playing on either side of the ice and can log a lot of ice time.

Flaws: Isn’t very physical and somewhat undersized for the National Hockey League game, so he must prove capable of handling bigger forwards consistently at the highest level.

Career Potential: Solid, mobile puck-moving defenseman with a little upside.
