Canadiens’ Barron focused on winning the battle with himself to earn roster spot

“While everyone watching this camp has been gawking over nearly every step 20-year-old Lane Hutson has taken toward taking his place with the Canadiens, while they’ve been sizing up the 21-year-old Mailloux’s fitness to pierce through at this level, Barron hasn’t just quietly been going about his business.
He’s been a standout since the beginning, playing assertively, and with the swagger he hoped to carry but never quite displayed with any consistency through his first years in the Canadiens’ organization.
It’s made him very noticeable.
It’s why when Nick Suzuki was asked to point out a player or two who popped to his eyes after the first on-ice session, the first name that came out of his mouth was Barron’s, pointing to how he took charge of the young group of defencemen on their team and directed them in all faceoff situations during that morning’s scrimmage.
That leadership is a sign of newfound confidence within the player.”
– The year of the Red Barron
Excited to see Barron honestly. Still think he’s an interesting prospect and hopefully all this competition will elevate him.
Anyone who makes the team on the back end should have to beat out the others who didn’t make it. Which is great for us fans
I hope he succeeds but I’m not sure where given the logjam. He had some nice pinches last year and 7 goals in 48 games as a 22 year old last year was no joke. He looks lost in his own zone though often. I think the physical aspect takes a heavy toll on him mentally. He played much worse after taking a few big hits over the span of a few games last year.
People have been quick to dismiss him I feel like
He’s young, he still has time to prove himself
We have a lot of D prospects, this is a good problem to have, they’ll surpass themselves in this competition to make the team, and if they don’t make it, we’ll have a lot of trade potential. The habs rebuild is very successful on the blue line I think
