It's hard for a 16-year-old defenceman in this league, let alone one on a fairly veteran/loaded D corps. Ladd will get his minutes. We have no injuries right now, and we all know that'll change. Plus, York will sit a bit to give him a look. If we stay healthy, there'll be the odd game he dresses as a 7th D while Peyton or someone sits.
As for Barnaby, I don't have any intel, but I think it's fairly clear from the way things went down that a blow-up occurred. You don't "part ways" with a coach on a Tuesday evening after a 3-1 start to the season with no warning and no explanation unless there was some sort of incident/argument. I know it's speculation, but I'm simply applying logic. Things may have been bubbling for a while, but something happened.
MM needs to find a credible D coach asap.
