Is Schmidt Leaving the Cats’ Blue Line?

Looks like the Cats might be saying goodbye to Nate “Schmidty” Schmidt, a key piece of their Cup-winning D core. According to Pierre LeBrun, Schmidt’s almost certain to test free agency July 1st. Losing him (and maybe even Ekblad) could shake up Florida’s defensive identity, especially with rumors swirling about Seth Jones stepping in. Do you think Zito’s making the right call prioritizing the forwards? Where do you see Schmidty landing next? #Panthers #NHLFreeAgency #StanleyCup #Sports #IceHockey
