The San Jose Sharks have been expected to make some roster changes this summer, and one of them came in the form of a buyout on Thursday (Jun. 26) when they placed Marc-Édouard Vlasic on waivers for the purpose of a buyout.

Vlasic, who is 38 years old, played 1323 games with the Sharks, scoring 84 goals and adding 295 assists for 379 points. He had spent his entire career as a Shark and now enters free agency looking for a new team for the first time in his career.

The Sharks will save some money this season as Vlasic's cap hit drops to $4.67 million, and they'll pay him $1.17 million in the 2026-27 season before he comes off the books. The Sharks now have just over $44 million in cap space heading into the 2025 NHL Entry Draft and free agency.
