"Tommy has been a valuable member of our franchise for many years, a phenomenal teammate and a true role model on and off the ice for our organization and the NHL," Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said in a news release. "As a team evolves and younger players push for roster spots, unfortunately tough decisions have to be made. We wish Tommy and his wife, Molly, nothing but success in the future.

"We also want to welcome Buddy and Zach to our organization. They add size and depth to our reserve list and we look forward to having them in San Jose."

Robinson, 25, has one goal and one assist in seven career NHL games for the Senators. He scored 12 points (seven goals, five assists) in 33 games for Binghamton of the American Hockey League this season.
