Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Nate Schmidt was awarded a two-year, $4.5-million contract by an arbitrator, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Schmidt was the only restricted free agent this offseason that required an arbitration ruling, as Friedman previously reported that the sides couldn't agree on money or term.

The Golden Knights plucked the 26-year-old blue-liner from the Washington Capitals in June's expansion draft after Schmidt recorded a career-high 17 points in 60 games.

With Schmidt locked up, all of Vegas' roster players have contracts for the club's inaugural season.
