Morgan Barron

Barron, 23, enters the 2022-23 season hoping to win a full-time job with the Winnipeg Jets. Unfortunately for Barron, the chances of that, at least for now, have become slim after an injury on the first day of training camp. With plenty of time left to get back into action, however, Barron looks to pull himself into the conversation for a lineup spot or an early season call-up.

Barron plays a strong game, using his 6’4 frame to jar opponents from the puck. He hasn’t fully been able to find a consistent offensive side of his game but did register two goals and two assists in his 14 games with the Jets last season. Barron’s energy mixed with his physical game matches up well with one of those bottom-six spots that’s open for the taking.

If he can’t find his way back into that spot by the end of camp, expect him to try and force himself into an open spot via the call-up. Barron remains waivers-exempt, which could play a factor in his games played.
