SAN JOSE – The Sharks have issued qualifying offers to restricted free forward Daniil Tarasov and goalie Aaron Dell, while former second round pick Taylor Doherty and forward Eriah Hayes were among the players that have not been retained and will become unrestricted free agents.
Tarasov made his NHL debut last season on Feb. 5, and registered one assist in 5 games with San Jose. He could push for a roster spot at the start of this season, but it’s more likely he’ll be penciled in as part of the Barracuda roster.
Dell is also likely ticketed for the Barracuda after a solid 2014-15 season, where he posted went 15-8-2 with a 2.
