Extension talks between the San Jose Sharks and defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic are “going well,” Vlasic’s agent, Bob Sauve, told Friend of the Blog Kevin Kurz.
Vlasic is set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer, but can sign an extension as early as July 1. Sauve told Kurz that he will speak with the Sharks soon, in the hopes of doing just that.
The 30-year-old defenseman is entering the final year of a five-year, $21.25 million deal that was one of the best value contracts in the league, and is likely due for a substantial raise.
