Barabanov agreed to terms on a two-year, $5 million contract extension with San Jose on Monday. - Barabanov set new personal bests this past season in games played (70), goals (10), assists (29) and shots (103). The 27-year-old winger spent time in the top six at points during the season and could get a chance to more permanently cement himself in that role during training camp in the fall. As such, Barabanov could be a solid under-the-radar fantasy play heading into next season. |

The 27-year-old is at six points, three shots on net and a minus-3 rating through nine contests -- he's got an incredibly low shot volume that suggests regression is coming. |
