Coach Ryan Warsofsky emphasized the importance of experience stating, "He understands what it takes to win in this league. He understands how to win at this league, and the little habits that you have to play with, and those winning habits." This demonstrates Vlasic's significance to the team's performance, especially with his extensive NHL background.
As the Sharks prepare for their upcoming season, Warsofsky noted, "With Vlasic entering his 19th season, the team recognizes his experience as a crucial aspect in their journey toward competitiveness, even if he starts on injured reserve." This underlines the Sharks' strategic planning concerning player injuries.
Warsofsky remarked on the injuries affecting potential roster decisions, saying, "If Vlasic has to start the season on injured reserve, that would open up a roster spot for another defenseman, which could significantly impact our depth and structure going into the season." This highlights how injuries play a critical role in the team's formation.
The Sharks’ approaching deadline to submit rosters adds urgency, as Warsofsky stated, "We still have just three practices and three games left before Oct. 7, when teams must submit cap-compliant rosters." This indicates the tight timeline the team is working against.
