The San Jose Sharks are holding goalie Vitek Vanecek out of their upcoming game against the Buffalo Sabres due to potential trade negotiations. As a pending unrestricted free agent with a significant contract, Vanecek's situation is complicated by the Sharks' cap constraints, requiring any potential trade to involve salary retention strategies. His performance has been disappointing this season, notably a 0-5-2 record since his return from injury, leaving Alexandar Georgiev as the starting goalie for the game against the Sabres.
