The San Jose Sharks have announced that they have locked up Marc-Edouard Vlasic, a valuable member of the team's blueline corps, to a new four-year contract extension on Wednesday. Vlasic still had one year remaining on his entry-level deal, but the Sharks decided to make sure they didn't have to deal with restricted free agency next summer with their prize stalwart defender.Vlasic played in all 82 games for the Sharks last season, but only managed 14 points (2G, 12A). He put in a lot of valuable minutes for the Sharks, coming in third on the team for ice-time at over 21 minutes, unfortunately, he finished the season at -12 for his plus/minus.
He didn't carry enough weight for the Hockey News to project his point totals, but Vlasic did have a 26-point rookie campaign, so you may be able to chalk it up to a sophomore slump. Vlasic could be the perfect sleeper on your blueline this season.
