LAS VEGAS — Suspended defenceman Nate Schmidt and the Vegas Golden Knights agreed to a $35.7 million, six-year contract extension Wednesday that runs through the 2024-25 season. He can return to the Golden Knights on Nov. 18. “He is the kind of defenceman that every team in this league is looking for now,” Vegas general manager George McPhee said. In five NHL seasons, Schmidt has 13 goals, 66 assists and 64 penalty minutes in 276 career games. He and the Golden Knights released statements disagreeing with the penalty, though neither specified the substance.
