Playing career
Following three seasons for the Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), Barron was selected in the first round, 25th overall, by the Colorado Avalanche in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.[2]
Ahead of the 2020–21 season, Barron was named captain of the Mooseheads.[3] In the pandemic-interrupted campaign, Barron recorded 31 points in 33 games for the club. On April 27, 2021, the Avalanche signed Barron to a three-year, entry-level contract.[4] On the same day, he signed an amateur tryout agreement with the Avalanche's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Colorado Eagles.[5] Barron made his NHL debut with the Avalanche in the 2021–22 season, appearing in a December 15, 2021 game against the New York Rangers.[6] Cumulatively, he appeared in 50 games with the Eagles, registering six goals and eighteen assists, and two games with the Avalanche.
On March 21, 2022, Barron was traded by the Avalanche, along with a 2024 second-round draft pick, to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Artturi Lehkonen.[7] He attracted positive notices on arrival in Montreal by demonstrating reasonable proficiency in French, as a result of having taken French immersion during his schooling in Nova Scotia.[8] Barron made his debut with the team in a March 27 game against the New Jersey Devils, playing 17:55.[9] He registered his first NHL point, an assist, in a March 29 game against the Florida Panthers.[10] Barron scored his first NHL goal in an April 5 game against the Ottawa Senators, his first game in the Bell Centre. He suffered an ankle injury in the same game and exited early.[11] Seven days later the team announced that he would miss the remainder of the season and would be unable to join the Laval Rocket for the Calder Cup playoffs.[12]
