Rapport de dépistage de Nate Schmidt

Veteran defenceman who is thrust in to a variety of roles
In (22/23) he averaged 18:28 TOI - deployed in all situations ... but second unit special teams
On the PP he is capable of making plays off the weak side flank - equal parts distributor / direct pucks on goal
Area defender - average plus on the PK - not overly physical - relies on active stick and spatial awareness / containing opponents to an area in his zone - had 45 hits and 85 shot blocks - can slide into top four role if required but trending 5D more than every night top four
