2024 Fantasy Outlook
After reaching the 20-point threshold last year, Barron fell two points shy of that mark in 2023-24, recording 11 goals and seven helpers. The fourth-line winger does add some physicality and has reached the 100-hit mark in each of the previous two seasons. Still, Barron's limited offensive numbers, combined with the fact that he plays on a primarily defensively-minded line, doesn't particularly endear the 25-year-old Nova Scotian to fantasy managers. In deeper formats, there could be some value in keeping Barron around but most managers should consider alternative options. Read Past Outlooks

Gathers assist

Barron posted an assist in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Oilers.
ANALYSIS
Barron made the season-opening lineup because David Gustafsson (lower body) is out of action. Last year, Barron had 18 points and 122 hits in 80 regular-season appearances while filling a fourth-line role. Barring injuries to other players, that's the assignment he'll draw again in 2024-25, giving him minimal scoring upside for fantasy purposes.

NHL 2024-25 Season Preview: Central Division

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2020
Barron held his own as a full-timer in 2022-23, racking up eight goals and 13 assists over 70 contests in his first full year with the Jets. The 24-year-old forward emerged as a solid physical presence with 118 hits, and three of his points came shorthanded. Barron's got the potential to continue playing in a middle-six role in 2023-24, so a big scoring burst shouldn't be expected, but he could push for 30 points. The physical play moves the needle a bit in fantasy, but he'll need to score a bit more to be generally helpful in fantasy.
Originally a sixth-round pick of the Rangers in 2017, Barron made his NHL debut for New York late in the 2020-21 season before being dealt to Winnipeg at the trade deadline last year in the deal involving Andrew Copp. Barron was a point producer through his collegiate career at Cornell, but he's been ticketed for a bottom-six depth role as a professional, meaning there will be minimal fantasy value to be had. Of course, the fact Barron has already played NHL games is a great result for any player who was drafted 174th overall.
Barron was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award as the nation's top college player with Cornell last season, and he has a chance to crack the Rangers' roster from the get-go. With the excellent hockey IQ you'd expect from an Ivy League product and a 6-foot-4, 220-pound frame that can handle the physicality of the NHL, the 22-year-old forward has an NHL-ready skill set and the flexibility to play either center or wing. That said, Barron's ceiling is limited and he projects as a bottom-six contributor long term, so dynasty league managers in search of gems shouldn't get too excited if he's in the lineup on Opening Night.
