Additionally, former Sharks and Leafs forward Alexander Barabanov has also left the league, likely for good. He had just 4 goals and 13 points in 46 games for San Jose last season, a huge down turn from his 47-point performance the year prior. He had reportedly requested a trade from the Sharks at the deadline, but that deal was squashed when the Vegas Golden Knights acquired
Tomas Hertl instead. Barabanov played in 206 career NHL games and put up 107 points, both very respectable totals for an undrafted player.
