If a team picks up Barabonov they will be pleasantly surprised

I think he would fit in Tampa at either 2RW or 3RW, and it seems Tampa is a team that is reported to be interested. Tampa wouldn't even need the Sharks to retain now because of Sergachev's injury, which keeps the cost a little lower for them.

As a Shark fan, and as a Barabonov fan, I would love to see him get the opportunity to play for a good team and in the playoffs. I think he's the kind of player that needs the right linemates to thrive, can't generate on his own, but if that mix is found he can be productive.

NSH declines. Not waiting till 2026 for the return on one of NSH's better producing forwards.

As I've pointed out in other threads; Phi will get much more by selling off Walker and Seeler separately; though that's not the most terrible offer I've seen
