Jesse Granger of The Athletic is reporting that Vegas Golden Knights rookie Jimmy Schuldt and the team are very close to signing a deal. No word right now on the terms.

Schuldt, who played one game with Vegas last season, was a university hockey stand-out, recording 118 points in 156 games. After wrapping up his senior year at St. Cloud State University, the defenseman signed a one-year, entry level deal with the Golden Knights.
Schuldt, 24, had been threatening to skip camp if a new deal was not in place. This is no longer expected to be an issue. The Golden Knights have just a little over $1 million in cap space to use.
