Four-time Norris Nominee and Olympic Gold Medallist Officially Hits the Trade Block

This four-time Norris Trophy nominee and past Olympic Gold medallist has just hit the trade market and he could help a few teams out.

The San Jose Sharks are clearly becoming one of the NHL's biggest sellers this season, as they sit at the bottom of the standings and continue to offload their big contracts to make room for a rebuild.

Now, it appears they are shopping another one of their big contracts in Marc-Edouard Vlasic, according to Elliotte Friedman. Vlasic, a Norris Trophy nominee and Olympic Gold winner, currently makes $7 million a year.

Vlasic's stats may not be the most impressive for a $7 million defenseman, but with the way today's market is shaking out, some teams may be interested in taking a shot at bringing in the defenseman, especially if some of that salary is retained.

Teams like Toronto, Edmonton, and even the Dallas Stars have been rumoured to be on the market for a defenseman, and the Sharks appear to be selling.
