Doesn't make sense otherwise as they have a buttload of cap space currently so it's not like they need the room.

He's done. After reading the Sharks reddit a bit the consensus is that he needs to be put out to pasture and that they need to rebuild their top 4 D.
The notes I took away are:
- Liljegren (RD) may work as a second pair RD but can't be the top guy
- Ferraro (LD) should probably be 3rd pair, not 1st, and they expect he will be traded away to make room
- Desharnais (RD) should be in the press box, not second pair
- Thrun (LD) and Thompson (RD) can work as 3rd pair guys
- Mukhamadullin (LD) looks good and can probably be a 2nd pair guy
- Dickinson is their #1LD of the future but needs to ease into the NHL
With that many LD options, Vlasic doesn't have a spot and arguably they need to move out another 3rd pair LD to try and make room for better players.
