Barron signed a two-year, $3.7 million contract with Winnipeg on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barron registered eight goals, 15 points, 92 shots on net and 122 hits across 74 regular-season appearances with the Jets in 2024-25. He will probably occupy a bottom-six role with the team during the 2025-26 campaign.

Barron posted an assist and four hits in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Blues in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Barron helped out on a David Gustafsson tally in the third period. With two helpers and seven hits over three playoff outings, Barron is providing a little depth offense while continuing his play as a physical force on the fourth line. The 26-year-old had 15 points over 74 regular-season contests, his lowest output in three years, so don't expect him to be a regular on offense in the postseason.

Barron logged an assist and two hits in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blues in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Barron has chipped in eight points over his last 17 contests while playing in a fourth-line role. The 26-year-old should have no trouble staying in the lineup during the first round, as the Jets are missing three of their regular forwards. Barron could even stay in the lineup over Rasmus Kupari (concussion) once he's healthy, as they've both seen time as the fourth-line center this season. Barron put up 15 points, 122 hits, 92 shots on net and a plus-8 rating in 74 regular-season contests.

Barron scored a goal in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Barron gave the Jets a 2-0 lead with a snap shot in the early stages of the second period. This was Barron's eighth goal of the campaign, and he's found the back of the net in back-to-back games. Barron is up to 15 points (eight goals, seven assists) on the season, but as a fourth-line forward with limited scoring contributions, his upside is mostly limited to leagues that reward physical stats. On that note, he's notched at least 115 hits and 38 blocked shots for the third consecutive season.

Barron scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Barron ended a 10-game goal drought with his tally at 2:34 of the second period Monday. The 26-year-old forward has six points over his last 12 outings, which is solid work for a fourth-liner, though he has just eight shots on net in that span, so it's likely unsustainable. Overall, he's produced seven goals, 14 points, 79 shots on net, 115 hits and a plus-8 rating through 70 appearances.

Barron recorded an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Barron set up Cole Perfetti on the Jets' lone tally of the contest. The 26-year-old Barron has a goal and four helpers over his last nine outings, which is one of his best stretches of the season. He's still logging fourth-line minutes, so sustaining that offense could prove difficult. He's now at 13 points, 77 shots on net, 107 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 67 appearances.

Barron logged an assist and three hits in Friday's 4-0 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Barron has been steady on the fourth line lately with a goal and three assists over his last seven outings. He helped out on a David Gustafsson tally in the first period, which gave the Jets a 2-0 lead. Barron is currently centering the line, a change from earlier in the year when Gustafsson played down the middle with Barron on the wing. Overall, Barron has 12 points, 76 shots on net, 104 hits and a plus-7 rating across 65 appearances.

Barron logged an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
This was Barron's third point in four games (one goal, two assists). The addition of Brandon Tanev at the trade deadline and Barron's subsequent move to center has given the Jets' fourth line a little more scoring punch lately. Barron is now at 11 points, 75 shots on net, 100 hits, 36 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 62 appearances this season.

Barron posted an assist in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Barron has a goal and an assist over his last two games after going six contests without a point following his return from an upper-body injury. The 26-year-old appears to have a solid role on the fourth line for now. He's up to 10 points, 73 shots on net, 98 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 60 appearances, so he's not much of a factor for fantasy managers.

Barron scored a goal and added two hits in Friday's 4-1 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Barron scored the Jets' fourth goal, earning his first point in seven appearances since returning from an upper-body injury. The Jets added Brandon Tanev at the trade deadline, leading Barron to shift to center on the fourth line and bumping David Gustafsson out of the lineup. Barron has nine points, 72 shots on net, 97 hits, 34 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating across 59 appearances this season.
