Player Discussion: Morgan Barron

Barron has really impressed me, especially considering how effective he's been playing C. I hope he's following a similar trajectory as Mason Marchmont, another big fast F that didn't really make his mark in the NHL until about age 26, which is similar to Barron's career stage this season.

If Barron can develop into a strong C he's going to be a valuable cog going forward.
Agree. I’ve been a big fan of him right from day one.
He seems to do everything right and is one of those players that has set up a lot of grade A chances and linemates haven’t finished them off. It’s amazing how many times he does something great but doesn’t get rewarded on the point sheet.
If he’s given a bigger role, I really think he can start contributing offensively.
 
Agree with the thread that Barron really seems to have found a new gear centring a terrific new line. He always had speed, energy and underrated hands and playmaking — great to see him banking some well-earned points, and hard to see a role for Apples going forward with he and Kupari as options, Tanev as a possibility and Al wanting to stick around.

His game seems more suited for C, a lot of similarities to how Lowry plays. Makes things a little more uniform in the bottom six.

Tanev specifically compliments his game at C very well. Iafallo can fit anywhere really. I like the way the bottom six has shaped up.

Not much data to go off of to guage his effectiveness as a C heading into playoffs.. But with wingers like he has on a sheltered 4th line, and his simple game,

I feel pretty comfortable if this is the line that gets trapped on a d zone draw after an icing compared to Kupari against the MacKinnon and McDavid's of the world
