Montreal Canadiens
2023 Fantasy Outlook
The 21-year-old Barron gained a more significant role as the injuries piled up and Montreal's season got away from them. He played pretty well, although it didn't result in much offensive production (four goals, 15 points in 39 games). He averaged 16:18 of ice time per game, including 58 seconds per contest with the man advantage. Barron's style of play isn't conducive to fantasy production, but he's almost certainly ensured a full-time gig this season, which is a pretty big deal given his youth. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Avalanche in April of 2021.
Sent to AHL
DMontreal Canadiens  Minors
April 17, 2024
Barron was reassigned to AHL Laval on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Barron had seven goals, 13 points, 16 PIM, 61 hits and 59 blocks in 48 contests with the Canadiens this season. He has also provided two goals and 11 points in 30 outings with Laval. Montreal's campaign is over, but the 22-year-old should factor into the big club's plans for the 2024-25 campaign. Before that, though, Barron will need a new contract, because he's set to become a restricted free agent this summer.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May return from injury Monday
DMontreal Canadiens  Minors
March 13, 2023
Barron, who has been out with an upper-body injury, could return to action versus Colorado on Monday, per Arpon Basu of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Barron has been sidelined for the last five games due to his upper-body issue. Prior to his absence, the 21-year-old blueliner was producing well offensively with one goal, two assists and six shots in his last five contests. If Barron is given the all-clear, he could bump Chris Wideman from the lineup.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
The No. 25 overall selection by the Avalanche in 2020, Barron was shipped to Montreal at the trade deadline in the deal which brought Arturri Lehkonen to Colorado last season. Considering the Avalanche went on to win the Stanley Cup, it's safe to say they were happy with the end result. From Montreal's standpoint, Barron is a 20-year-old stay-at-home defender that plays a physical style, but he doesn't project to offer much from an offensive standpoint. You can probably do better on draft day, even in keeper/dynasty formats.
