After an off-season full of drawn-out negotiations, the Vegas Golden Knights thrashed out a one-year contract with their young defenseman, worth an average annual value of $850,000. It is also worth noting that it is a one-way contract.
That is significant because Schuldt is one of five stud rookies aiming to slug it out for a blueline spot on the opening night roster, and this deal appears to suggest that the 24-year-old is very much the frontrunner to win the job.
This contract also wraps up the off-season for the Golden Knights who have now conducted all of their remaining business with Schuldt their only remaining restricted free agent.
