Arizona has no use for Barabanov right now. A cap strapped team would give the most value for him.
Apart from that, Bordeleau, 9th overall, 28th overall, and 36th overall would be literally insane to trade away in this draft. As amazing as Cooley looks like he'll be, you never know how they'll transition to pro, and with the depth in this draft there's a solid chance that multiple of those picks could end up being a top 6/top 4 or even an elite talent. Add to that Barabanov's objective value is a 1st plus (nearly 60 pt pace at 2.5 mil contract) and Bordeleau has potential to be a solid 2nd line center in the NHL, this value is WAY too much to give up
