Toruń, PL
7 points in 8 games in the AHL so far (7 reg, 1 playoff game)

Looks like Colorado could have found another stud on the back end. *shrug*
Not to be pessimistic or trying to devalue Barron, but a lot of players that had a year of junior hockey and make the transition to the AHL tend to always put up good PPG averages and are put in a good situation as the FO wants to see his skill. The real test is how good he'll look with a entire offseason of hockey (well half of a traditional offseason in this case) this October and during a seasoned training camp when all spots are available.

The Avs top defensemen often have a big impact on games but not end up on the score sheet. It will be something similar with Barron.

It will be skill set and making smart decisions that impacts his progress more than points.
