Barbashev has 13 goals and 22 points in his first 15 games this season with Moncton (QMJHL). Barbashev is roughly on pace for the same point production as last season (68 points in 44 games), but he should shatter the 25 goal mark that he reached last year. The Blues did a terrific job of snatching Barbashev in the second round of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft and he is expected to be a key contributor for Russia at the upcoming World Juniors in December. Long term, he projects as a third-line player who can chip in offensively and can handle a top-six role if necessary.
