That's 2 years or 73 NHL games away...I feel like Barron will be put on waivers and claimed at some point
not until summer of '25 or '26 (depending on whether his 7 ahl games in 20-2 count or if that contract year slides) or until he's played 73 more nhl games.
I love Struble... but they aren't in direct competition. Completely different roles.

That's how i think his journey with the Habs will end. He doesn't have much if any value right now. Maybe a late pick or something
Strubble is much better on defense and way more physical also
We already have Matheson and we'll have Hutson that can move the puck
Matheson won t likely be the puck mover given his age during contention window. Hutson has never played in the AhL or NHL. Strubble is not the same kind og player but that s my point why get rid of Barron now
You guys gonna run this by CMac and Hughes or…. lol just kidding. Thanks you habs for Lehky, he’s been a beast.How about Olausson for Barron?
I’ll be honest, I haven’t followed either of these guys, but based on a very quick read, Bystedt sounds like a Hughes kinda prospect.He would make some sense as a SJ Sharks target. We don't have a RHD prospect better than Barron in the system. I'd prefer to offer Bordeleau for him but I might be convinced to offer Bystedt for him if Bordeleau is unappealing to the Habs.
I dont think that is accurate.CapFriendly has it as waiver eligible in 2024-2025 as this is currently his 3rd NHL season.
3 seasons or 160 games for signing age 20.
No, Barron not developing as hoped for doesn't mean he wasn't the biggest part of that deal. There's a risk to all prospects, after all.So I guess the Av's 2024 2nd round pick was the main piece huh.
I dont think that is accurate.
He has a nov birthday.
Drafted 2020
20/21 Q/AHL
21/22 he's 19 with late bday. He only played 7 nhl games. He burned his first ELC but not accrue 10 nhl games
22/23 2nd elc season
23/24 3rd elc year
Next year 24/25 he should still be waiver exempt until he hits 160 nhl games.
This is what happened with Mittlestadt. He signed in the arch after college season and played a few games. His signing age was 20 so no sliding contract but he still had 3 yfull years of waiver exemption unless he crossed the game count.
Barron is much better offensivelyBeaulieu 2.0
one of your lovely forward prospects. Habs would have to add at least a 2ndI’d be interested in WPG taking a flyer on him… see if we can get him to commit where the Habs haven’t been able to.
What would you be looking at as a return?
The difference was Mitts played right after hr signed but did not accrue a season.Mittelstadt contract signing age was 19, Barron was 20.
Waivers FAQ - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
NHL waivers, frequently asked questions and answerswww.capfriendly.comMittelstadt turned 20 in the 2nd year of his ELC, Barron in his first.
- Age is defined by the following CBA 13.4:
- If a player turns 18 between January 1 and September 15 in the entry-draft calendar year preceding the first season of the players entry-level contract, they are considered 18
- If a player turns 19 before December 31 in the entry-draft calendar year preceding the first season of the players entry-level contract, they are considered 19
- If a player turns 20 before December 31 in the entry-draft calendar year preceding the first season of the players entry-level contract, they are considered 20, and so on.
- For players whom are 20 or older, the year in which they play their first Professional Game (e.g. NHL, AHL, ECHL, KHL, European Leagues) is the year which is considered their first year towards the waiver exemption; however, the player must be under an NHL contract.
I’d be interested in WPG taking a flyer on him… see if we can get him to commit where the Habs haven’t been able to.

do you guys even need him with malinski in the ahl.How about Olausson for Barron?
.....we could trade Barron for another project for a player that play in a position where we're less stacked prospect wise
Like, other than Mesar and Beck, our forward prospect bank is pretty barren, since Roy has already graduated
