When Nate Schmidt got bought out by the Winnipeg Jets, the first place he circled to were the Florida Panthers.



Not only did he think coming to the Panthers would get his career back on track, but he figured the Panthers would be a great fit for a player with the sort of personality he possesses.

“Money? I have what I need for the rest of my life,’’ said Schmidt, who had been making $6 million per season but is on a league-minimum deal with the Panthers.

“I want to win a Cup and want to do it with a team that’s going to have fun doing it.”

Watching him interact with his teammates every day, especially stall-mates Dmitry Kulikov and Sergei Bobrovsky, proves he is having fun.

As far as the hockey goes, well, that’s been pretty good as well.
