Kent Hughes is asking a high price for his defenseman Justin Barron, and we have the details
Kent Hughes still has important decisions to make regarding his defensemen, and the next one potentially on the move could be Justin Barron, according to rumors.
Indeed, several journalists in Edmonton believe he could be a good fit with the Oilers, who have recently lost Philip Broberg and Cody Ceci.
Right-handed defensemen are rarer in the NHL, especially young ones with significant potential like Justin Barron, which surprisingly increases his value.
There's a tendency to think that Kent Hughes might not be able to get a good price, but according to journalist Mathias Brunet, the asking price is nothing less than a first-round pick.

It is known that Kent Hughes is a patient man and will wait to get his price before making a move. Justin Barron is still developing and indeed has significant potential.
For a contending team that doesn't have much salary cap space like the Oilers, sacrificing a first-round pick for a young player like Justin Barron makes sense.
This is a story to follow, and it's generating more and more buzz. If Logan Mailloux impresses like he did last year at training camp, don't be surprised if Barron is traded.
