He's better defensively than Wideman. I think Wideman is done. He goes to Laval. Lindstrom becomes #8D.
Welcome to Montreal.

He played near 100 games in the NHL in the last 2 seasons. He could play in Laval but he could also very well be what Kovacevic was last year if they need someone for whatever reasons.

SCOUTING REPORT
Plays with poise in his own zone and does not get rattled when the pressure is on. Moves the puck well but does not have the offensive game to play elite minutes. Owns a good point shot but lacks the skills to be a power-play quarterback. Needs to add strength to his 6'2" frame to maximize output as an effective shutdown defenseman and to compensate for his lack of offensive skills.
Long Range Potential: Rangy defenseman with some upside

What I do like is having stop gap guys to allow our guys to develop in Laval. Nothing wrong with letting Xhekaj or Barron get a bit more seasoning.
I hope we take the same attitude with our forwards. Especially Slaf. I hope we give Ylonen an opportunity.

I think he gets waived. According to Detroit fans, they were shocked Yzerman even re-signed him and had him pegged to return to Sweden.
Wasn't this guy one of those out of nowhere picks Wings did at that time. Bertuzzi was another if I recall.

Exact. Barron will need to compete to be on the team on the first night.

The Wings have watched him for 6 years and didn't qualify him in June so he was a ufa. They did re-sign him. Sounds like Gustav Olofsson who the Habs had in minors for a while.

Good comparison. Who knows though since Gustav forsling was a nothing player at pretty much every level and developed into a 40 point dman at 27 without ever showing significant offense at any other level including juniors.
Hughes said the pro people in Montreal like him..they think there can be
upside...in their opinion he's still young and at about 70 percent of his
potential ....called him a puck mover D.

That would be my guess too. Maybe he beats out Kovacevic in camp to nab a spot, but it seemed like the coaching staff liked and trusted Kovacevic a lot so it will be tough.
