Justin Barron

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.

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.
