I think he's worthy of a draft pick. Big guy who can skate, lug the puck, goes to the net with ease, has a solid shot and finish.
However, the last guy to get picked out of SAC was Warren Foegele, and he went in the 3rd in 2014. And he was more dominant than Barron at this level. So it'd probably make sense to peg him in the 5th~6th.
It's an obscure league but I am sure scouts have been out to see him play as SAC keeps a tight schedule. At least a half dozen games against Shattuck and Culver, tournaments in MA and the like, as well as another draftable player in Andonovski, and huge talent in Newhook

As a freshman Barron has been dominant and has 11 points in 13 games. Potential steal on the Rangers hands? 2017 draft looking great for the Rangers

He was really good today against BU, he did good adapting to the NCAA after playing his draft year in a not so good league. I’ve said this earlier and before but he’s got a lot of upside with his size+speed+offensive combo. His defense is looking good as well

Having a great season, this dude was a complete unknown when he was drafted but has developed really well
Here’s some video from this weekend
New York Rangers on Twitter
Here’s a few highlights from last season
He’s a big C who I still think plays a bit like a less flashy Rick Nash, someone to keep an eye out for

He's making a name for himself. Whether he ends at 1PPG, just below, just above, a second year player putting up those numbers along with those shot rates bodes well to reach the NHL.
When we drafted him, he was known as the older brother of that elite prospect playing in Halifax. His brother is still that elite prospect playing in Halifax, but he might also get to the NHL, as well.

What makes you say that? I don’t see high end potential but I can see him becoming a solid middle 6er. He’s still raw and has really good tools

We picked him in the 6th round. If we get a good 3rd line center who can skate, score goals and play defense, thats pretty good.
Draft +2, man’s frame, 1ppg
Got to watch him against ASU last weekend and he didn’t show me anything to suggest that he’s much better than Jimmy Vesey. Production isn’t a solid fit between the two, but neither does role that year.
Not nearly as much of an up and down player as Vesey, but even his short side high goal was more on Daccord.
Jimmy Vesey in the 6th round is pretty damn good.

Thats very nice creativity and precision with his passing. More plays like that, and he could be a middle six forward instead of a bottom six forward.

He has 19 points in 17 games.
At the same age, Kreider had 45 points in 44 games, Hayes had 25 points in 27 games, Vesey had 22 in 31 points, Nieves had 28 points in 35 games.
He's pacing better at the same age than all these NHL forwards on the Rangers roster who played in college hockey. Thats not to say he'll be better than them, but it shows how well he's playing that NHL forwards were not averaging the points he was.

21 points in 19 games now.
I don't think he'll be signed by the team after this season, but it makes sense to sign him after his next season, if he has another good season.
We don't want a situation where he can run down his draft-rights, and make himself a free agent after his senior season. He's likely only going to sign with the Rangers after his senior season, if we offer him a better outlook for his NHL chances than other teams.
