Justin Barron's Player Profile

Tony Ferrari - Dobber Prospects - Aug. 13th: "A Jack-of-all-trades defender. Good in every area of the ice. Barron isn’t flashy but he is effective."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - Sept. 21st: "But he didn’t really get the opportunity to progress like much of his peers, his game plateaued when he was in the lineup and I’m just a little hesitant to project him one way or the other these days."

Chris Peters - ESPN - June 30th: "On ability alone, Barron has first-round-caliber talent. But in a practical sense, teams are going to need a lot of assurances of his health before pulling the trigger on an early pick."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - June 25th: "As one of the top skaters and mobile defenders in this draft class, he’s destined to play top four minutes for a number of years."

Mike G. Morreale - NHL.com - June 23rd: "The right-handed shot (6-2, 195), who returned Feb. 26 after missing three months with a blood clot, scored 19 points (four goals, 15 assists) in 34 games. He's an exceptional skater and capable of making a smooth transition out of the defensive zone."

Jeb Biggart - The Hockey Writers - May 11th: "Despite the injuries and lack of help, Barron still managed 19 points in 34 games. However, his offense isn’t the “wow” factor of Barron’s game. He won’t jump off the page with his stickhandling or creativity, but will always make the safe and smart play. He’s rarely beat in front of the net and brings a ton of physicality."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - Apr. 8th: "Ran out of runway to get back to the player he was prior to the health issues."

Mike G. Morreale - NHL.com - Mar. 20th: "The right-handed shot, who returned to the lineup Feb. 26 after missing three months with a blood clot, had 19 points (four goals, 15 assists) in 34 games. He's a proven skater and competitor capable of making the good first pass."

Mike G. Morreale - NHL.com - Mar. 6th: "The right-hand shot returned to the lineup on Feb. 26 after missing three months with a blood clot. He's a proven skater and competitor capable of making the good first pass."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - Mar. 4th: "Met the timeline for his return and still has two weeks worth of games to prove he belongs amongst the best in-class."

Tony Ferrari - Dobber Prospects - Jan. 29th: "Justin Barron, on the other hand, started the year as a top-15 pick on most draft boards and has fallen as the seasons worn on. He plays a sturdy game and has good mobility but his offensive upside is lacking. His production has dwindled this season as the talent around him departed."
