Labanc and Hoffman are among the eight pending UFAs for the Sharks. Labanc is perceived to need a fresh start elsewhere, as both sides agree on his departure. Hoffman, acquired via a trade, is also confirmed to hit free agency as he lost the confidence of the coaching staff.
Barabanov's injury-riddled season hampers his contract negotiation. With only 47 games played, his performance may influence the decision on whether to retain or release him.
