The Buffalo Sabers are looking for a right-handed defenseman who can energize their game from the blue line, and Justin Barron appears to be the man who could perfectly fill that need.
With his ability to handle the puck and contribute to the offense, Barron is exactly the type of player the Sabers are looking for to strengthen their defense.
And let’s be honest. Barron is not part of the future of the Montreal Canadiens. Everyone knows it, even the main person involved.
As the rumors surrounding the name of Casey Mittelstadt become more and more insistent on the Montreal side, this raises the question of what the Montreal Canadiens should offer in the company of Barron. It’s clear the Sabers won’t be willing to let him leave without getting significant compensation in return.
It is suggested that in addition to Barron in the trade, the Canadiens should consider offering at least a first round pick.
Among the picks mentioned are the Jets in 2024 or the Flames in 2025 (or the Panthers), which represents considerable value for the Sabres. Additionally, another piece of weight would be needed to seal the deal.
Among the potential offensive options on the market, Casey Mittelstadt seems to be the most realistic addition for the CH. Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes could see Mittelstadt as a way to finally strengthen his offense while satisfying the Sabres’ needs.
Ultimately, such a trade could benefit both teams. The Sabers would get much-needed reinforcement on defense, while the Montreal Canadiens would acquire a talented player who could immediately contribute to their offense.
It remains to be seen whether the negotiations will result in an agreement satisfactory to both parties. It is clear that Hughes will have to add the MOON into the balance. Because right now, Justin Barron is worth a pound..
