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 (lower-body) will return to the Sharks lineup in Game 1.

Vlasic has been out since March 17th with a lower-body injury, but he will return just in time for Game one of the playoffs. Vlasic is an excellent two-way defenseman, who picked up 39 points (8G / 31A) in 67 games this season. Look for him to be reunited with Justin Braun.
