The Winnipeg Jets are moving on from veteran defenceman Nate Schmidt. The team placed Schmidt on unconditional waivers Sunday with the purpose of a buyout.
Schmidt skated in 63 games for Winnipeg in 2023-24, picking up two goals and 14 points with a plus-10 rating.
The 32-year-old has played in 11 NHL seasons, spending time with the Jets, Washington Capitals, Vegas Golden Knights and Vancouver Canucks.
Schmidt was acquired by Winnipeg in a trade from the Canucks in the summer of 2021.
He is owed $5.95 million in the final season of a six-year, $35.7-million deal he signed with Vegas in 2018. His cap hit will be $2,716,667 this coming season and then drop to $1,616,667 for 2025-26, according to PuckPedia.com.
