21-Year-Old DefensemanD
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

Buries one in finale
DMontreal Canadiens
April 14, 2023
Barron scored a short-handed goal in Thursday's season-ending 5-4 loss to Boston. He added one hit, two blocked shots and two penalty minutes over 25:49 of ice time.
ANALYSIS
After some activity near the net, a loose puck came out to the slot where Barron jumped and buried it past Jeremy Swayman. The 21-year-old defenseman finished the season with four goals and 11 assists while going plus-2 over 39 games. He was called up in December and never went back to the AHL. Barron will have a spot on Montreal's blue line in 2023-24.

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.
