2025 Fantasy Outlook
Barron accounted for six goals, 13 points, 73 shots, 83 blocks and 80 hits across 62 regular-season appearances between Nashville and Montreal in 2024-25. His average ice time increased from 14:43 to 18:27 after being acquired by the Predators from the Canadiens in mid-December. However, Nashville's blue line had injury issues throughout the year. Barron's playing time could decrease in 2025-26, but he could be a decent source of hits and blocks. Still, he shouldn't be counted on for much offensively. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $2.3 million contract with the Canadiens in July of 2024.
Shifted to IR
Barron (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Friday and is considered week-to-week.
ANALYSIS
Barron has already been out of action for the Preds' last seven contests and doesn't appear to be close to returning. Considering the 24-year-old blueliner has managed just four points in 19 outings this year, his absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers. Even once given the all-clear, Barron could find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
After logging 48 NHL games last season, Barron is unlikely to find minutes any easier to come by this year. There will be tough competition on the Canadiens' blue line, with Arber Xhekaj and Jayden Struble all looking for additional ice time. For his part, Barron managed seven goals and six helpers in those 48 outings while averaging 18:38 of ice time. While Barron may have limited fantasy value this season due to his lack of a clear role, his age makes him an intriguing long-term option in dynasty and keeper formats.
