Morgan Barron Has a Chance to Make the NHL, and That’s Good Enough

There were plenty of great things to say at the end of last season following 2017 sixth-round pick Morgan Barron’s freshman campaign in college hockey but for one major cause for hesitation; inconsistency. There were times when Barron, who at first was supposed to take a gap year, looked like one of the top players on a high-caliber Cornell team. There were also notable stretches where he would fade into the background. Barron ended the season wtih five goals and 13 assists in 33 games. That was okay for his first year, but going forward Barron would need to assert himself more regularly to establish himself as a legitimate NHL prospect.
