Hall of Famer set to leave Sharks organization

SAN JOSE — Hall of Fame defenseman Larry Robinson will leave the Sharks organization when his contract with the team expires on July 1.

According to the Montreal Gazette, Robinson has received permission from general manager Doug Wilson to speak with other teams as he’s hoping to find work with an organization that’s closer to his home in Bradenton, Fla.

Robinson joined the Sharks as an associate coach under former-head coach Todd McLellan prior to the 2012-13 season, a role he performed for two years before serving as director of player development over the last three seasons.
