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).

As such, Barabanov could be a solid under-the-radar fantasy play heading into next season. |
