Indeed, several journalists in Edmonton believe he could be a good fit with the Oilers, who have recently lost Philip Broberg and Cody Ceci.
Right-handed defensemen are rarer in the NHL, especially young ones with significant potential like Justin Barron, which surprisingly increases his value.
There's a tendency to think that Kent Hughes might not be able to get a good price, but according to journalist Mathias Brunet, the asking price is nothing less than a first-round pick.
It is known that Kent Hughes is a patient man and will wait to get his price before making a move. Justin Barron is still developing and indeed has significant potential.
For a contending team that doesn't have much salary cap space like the Oilers, sacrificing a first-round pick for a young player like Justin Barron makes sense.
This is a story to follow, and it's generating more and more buzz. If Logan Mailloux impresses like he did last year at training camp, don't be surprised if Barron is traded.
