San Jose Sharks (2006–present)

Vlasic was drafted by the San Jose Sharks 35th overall in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, using a pick exchanged for goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff. Vlasic attended high school at Collège Sainte-Anne High School for three years, then a one-year stint at West Island College before making the jump to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), where he played three seasons of major junior hockey with the Quebec Remparts.^{[citation needed]} He won the Memorial Cup with Quebec in 2006.

On August 27, 2008, the San Jose Sharks signed Vlasic to a four-year, $12.4 million contract extension that would keep him with the team through the 2012–13 season. On July 11, 2012, responding to the six full seasons of reliable play that earned him the "Steady Eddie" nickname, the Sharks signed Vlasic to a 5-year, $21 million contract extension that would keep him with the Sharks through the 2017–18 season.^[1][2] Up to that point Vlasic had played only one game in the minors, for the Worcester Sharks in 2008, where he notched 2 points.

Early in the 2012–13 season, Vlasic became the second player from the 2005 draft class to play 500 games, and later scored his first career Stanley Cup playoffs goal, during the 2013 playoffs, against Jonathan Quick of the Los Angeles Kings.^[3]

On July 1, 2017, he signed a $56 million, eight-year contract extension with the Sharks.^[4]

Vlasic played his 1,000th NHL game on December 14, 2019; he was only the 17th player to play his first 1,000 games with one team.^[5]
