Barron is on Winnipeg's training camp roster, indicating that the forward has moved past his knee injury that kept him out of the postseason in 2023-24.
Barron was injured in Winnipeg's penultimate game of the regular season -- it caused him to miss the regular-season finale and the entirety of the team's first-round series versus Colorado. The 25-year-old will compete for a spot on the team's fourth line while potentially filling a role on the penalty kill. Barron has 45 career points in 182 regular-season appearances, so he's unlikely to offer much fantasy value outside of the deepest of leagues.
