Indeed, Frank Seravalli has clearly mentioned that Stan Bowman is looking for a defenseman like Barron, and another journalist has just linked him to the Oilers.
Allan MitchellFor the Canadiens, Logan Mailloux and David Reinbacher are ahead of Justin Barron when considering the future of right-handed defensemen, and to be honest, I don't think there's much debate on that. Both will be better in every way.
Kent Hughes still has too many defensemen and needs to make room for at least Logan Mailloux and Lane Hutson, while waiting for David Reinbacher to arrive next year, and maybe Adam Engstrom in the coming years.
In short, among the active defensemen on the Canadiens, Justin Barron and Jayden Struble have everything to lose, but personally, I believe the right-handed defenseman would be the next to go.
It will all depend on his training camp, if he plays it in Montreal.
