I've watched Barron quite a bit and nothing about his game shows me that he is even going to play half the NHL games that Brisbois did.?
Barron D4- 94 games, 31 points
Brisebois D4- 106 games, 43 points
Brisebois' first seasons were on a Habs roster that won the division one year & the cup the next.
Barron has been playing on a rebuilding Habs roster that finished last & 5th last his first 2 yrs.
Not sure how/why you'd equate Barron to being "far behind" Brisebois at this point in their careers...
Barron is just a guy back there and there isn't much more to his game coming IMO.
I wouldn't be surprised that in 5 years the only current Habs dmen to have solid NHL spots in the top 4 are Guhle, Reinbacher and Hutson.
Barron might surprise but he hasn't really shown that he can be more than a borderline NHLer and more younger better dmen will be coming up.
