Quoting: BUFF36
No he's not, he's 5'11" and by the time he comes here for camp he could be 185-190 and room to grow.
Yup!
Quoting: Campabee
I know this isn't gonna be liked by Sabres fans but Habs aren't adding the 1st here, it would be 1 for 1...
Thank you for setting my mind straight.
Barron has 6 goals and does play 4th most minutes for MTL.
Upon review this is a terrible trade for Buffalo.
He plays sheltered minutes getting the second highest offensive zone starts of all MTL Dmen.
Barron PK's for only 48 sec per game ranking him 6th and only plays 18:47 min per game.
His %GA/60 2.91 is 7th among MTL and would the second worse among all Sabre dmen.
He does not hit nor block shots and ranks 5th and 7th per 60 minutes respectively among all MTL dmen, but would rank 6th an 8th in Buffalo.
In case you do not know, Buffalo dmen are not known for their physical play.
Barron's stats make them appear to be beasts.
Buffalo would never make this trade.

Why do the Sabres NEED Barron, if we are able to get Borgen back ?
Seems like overkill & trading just to trade at this point
Clifton is fine at RD3
We on agree nearly all Sabre matters.
The items on which we agree that differ nearly from all other Sabre ACGM's are:
Jokiharju is the Sabres best RHD why trade him.
Greenway is not being traded this year unless a team were to send a top pairing young RHD.
For what ever reason Olofsson was *ucke* this year.
Cliffton is playing well enough.
As to this trade, after reviewing Barron's stats you are correct in this matter as well.
This is a bad trade for Buffalo.
As I prepared this post the plan was to get 2 young RHD for our 3rd (or 4th) ranked center prospect and Krebs.
Borgan would be good catch, Barron is not.
As you said get Borgan keep Clifton.
