The Vancouver Canucks’ third free agent signing of the day was Jimmy Schuldt, who the team signed to a two-year, two-way contract. His signing was announced at the same time as new (and old) Canucks Mackenzie MacEachern and Joseph LaBate. 

Schuldt, an undrafted defenceman, played for St. Cloud State University for four seasons and captained the team for three of them. In this span of time, he scored 38 goals and 80 assists in 156 games, including a season that saw him tally 35 points in 36 games. After this, he made his NHL debut with the Vegas Golden Knights, adding an assist in the lone game on April 6, 2019. 

After this, Schuldt spent five seasons in the AHL — one with the Chicago Wolves (2019–20), one with the Henderson Silver Knights (2020–21), one with the Rochester Americans (2021–22), and two with the Coachella Valley Firebirds (2022–24). In the 2022–23 season, he scored eight goals and 24 assists in 71 of the Firebirds’ games. In the team’s Calder Cup campaign that saw them lose to the Hershey Bears in the Finals, Schuldt posted five goals and four assists in 26 games.
