Even with injuries, Washington has far too many forwards as it is. Leason, Protas, Jonsson-Fjallby, Snively, perhaps even Lapierre would probably get called up in the case of injuries and with only Protas and Lapierre being waivers exempt, I think the Caps will be hesitant to lose some of their cheaper/younger depth to waivers. I like Barabanov, but the Caps just have far too many forwards to fit him into the lineup even with injuries. Wilson coming back before the deadline makes the situation even worse in DC.
However, given the value other players got at the deadline last year, I could see Barabanov possibly getting even more from a different team if he has a good start to the season.
