Danil Gushchin, the San Jose Barracuda's all-time leading scorer, is poised to compete in the Calder Cup playoffs after three seasons in the AHL. Despite his impressive scoring record, Gushchin's future with the Sharks organization remains uncertain as he enters restricted free agency. He has had limited success with the Sharks, scoring only one point in 12 games this season. Gushchin dreams of playing in the NHL but may also consider a return to the KHL if opportunities in North America do not materialize. His immediate focus is on leading the Barracuda in their playoff series against the Ontario Reign.
"Right now, Gushchin's focus is on this week. After missing the playoffs the last two years, the Barracuda finished sixth in the AHL's Pacific Division and will face the third-place Ontario Reign in a best-of-three first-round series that starts Thursday in Los Angeles."
"Gushchin had one point in 12 games this season with the Sharks, who have prioritized adding some size to the organization. Gushchin wants to play in the NHL, but hasn't been able to hold onto a spot with the Sharks."
