Marc-Edouard Vlasic felt deceived when he was bought out by the San Jose Sharks with one year left to go on his contract.
“I thought I’d come back,” Vlasic told French media three weeks ago.
He said more to TVA Sports on Monday, saying in French that he wanted to “put it through the Sharks’ teeth” and show the only NHL team he’s ever known that they were wrong to let him go.
San Jose Hockey Now asked a native French speaker to confirm the Google translation.
As of this date though, Vlasic still hasn’t hooked on with another team. Training camps open next week.
“I’m not going to go into details because it’s not good for me or for them. It wasn’t my decision, I’ve been lied to all year,” Vlasic said. “Going somewhere else will do me good.”
