<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>I watch at least 1/2 the sharks games, I live in the area. Vlasic is still good but has already started to decline from a couple years ago; that is very obvious. The problem may be you looking at who's he surrounded by on the Sharks and measuring as such versus measuring Vlasic against himself. I don't know one sharks fan who would suggest that Vlasic hasn't declined at all. That doesn't mean Vlasic isn't still good, but he is on the wrong side of his career and in another 2 years from now, that contract will start hurting, let alone 7 years from now. Yes, Vlasic's contract in a couple years is going to be widely viewed as worse then Seabrooks contract which will be close to ending. And let's be honest, Seabrook in his day was a better then Vlasic and I'm a huge fan of Vlasic and glad the Hawks have his cousin in their prospect pool.</div></div>
Sorry but Seabrook was never better than Vlasic and has aged like Riunite Lambrusco.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>Generally agree but I just want to add one thing.

Vlasic was in precipitous decline when he signed his contract. He was already, noticeably playing far worse than his reputation/usual self. This decline has continued ofc. People always say the Seabrook contract is the worst in the league but I disagree. It's Vlasic. 7 years, a full NMC at 7aav with bonuses. There is a general understanding of the ageing curve that Wilson has ignored, but he has also been ignoring what's actually been happening in the ice for years now. Vlasic should have signed a contract for 2-3 years around 2-4aav when he signed that monstrous deal. That was his real worth. A player without his name would have gotten just that.

If there is a gm willing to take that contract in the league, I don't care what the return or potential cost is, you pull the trigger before they have a chance to say no.</div></div>
I find it funny that the people on here who criticize Vlasic likely aren’t watching him night in and night out like Sharks fans, yet they talk as if they have seen every sharks game this season and then they glance at his +/- and think that’s the entire story.

Pickles has without question been the Sharks best defenseman for 7+ years including this season. He hasnt declined yet, he still skates better than everyone on the team outside of Karlsson and he still shuts down the top players in the league.

To compare him to Seabrook (seriously) is proof you know nothing of what you said outside of the general consensus on ACGM (lol) Vlasic is 10 times the player Seabrook ever was. He’s really the only contract in the core of the sharks outside of Couture that i think is totally fine.
