Avalanche select Travis Barron 191st overall

The Colorado Avalanche finished their NHL Draft off by making left wing Travis Barron of the Ottawa 67’s from the Ontario Hockey League the 191st overall selection.

Barron, 17, is 6’1″ and 187 pounds and was the third overall selection in the 2014 OHL Draft. He registered 13 goals, 24 assists for 37 points in 60 OHL games this past season.

Prospect Black Book:

“His defensive game is responsible, he understand systems and where to be on the ice in the defensive zone and what man to pick up. Travis is an effective penalty killer because he will block shots, get in lanes of the defenders and work hard along the boards to get the puck out.
