Marc-Edouard Vlasic News
The Sharks have signed Marc-Edouard Vlasic to an eight-year extension worth $56M ($7.0M AAV).

Vlasic is viewed as one of the best two-way defensemen in the NHL, but failed to top 30 points in 2016-17 after setting a career-high with 39 points (8G / 31A) the year before. The 30-year-old will likely be a top-25 fantasy defenseman in 2017-18, but the length of this deal could hurt the Sharks’ cap situation down the line.

Vlasic (upper-body) was a minus-2 in 20-plus minutes in his return to the Sharks lineup on Sunday.

Vlasic missed five games with an upper-body injury, but returned to the lineup last night vs. the Lightning. It was a shaky return for the 27-year-old, while the Sharks were dropped 5-2. Overall it has been a strong year for Vlasic, who has 17 points (6G / 11A) and a plus-13 rating in 53 games.
