News – Sharks Elect To Retain Defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic – San Jose Sharks:

San Jose Sharks Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Wilson announced today that defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic will remain in San Jose this season.

Vlasic has played in all eight of the Sharks games this season, averaging just under twenty minutes per game (19:59), bettered on the team only by Scott Hannan (21:27) and Kyle McLaren (20:53). He made his NHL debut on Oct. 5 vs. St. Louis and has not yet posted his first NHL point.

This, of course, comes as a suprise to almost nobody except Vlasic himself, who even before the Wild game on Saturday, was still telling people he fully expected to be sent back. Not sure where San Jose would get his 20 minutes a game if he did go back, or what he’d accomplish if he was returned to juniors, frankly.

So, he finally heard the words every young player wants to hear: “Hey, Pickles! Get a room!”
