Colby Barlow

ANALYSIS
After three years with the Owen Sound Attack, Barlow was traded to the Generals this season. His offense has actually been in decline for a couple of years -- he had 79 points in 59 regular-season contests in 2022-23, and was down to 48 points in 50 outings in 2023-24. Despite Barlow's downtick in offense, he's on a strong team that should have him playing deep into the spring before potentially getting a brief look with either the Jets or AHL Manitoba. He'll be eligible to play with Manitoba for all of 2025-26, and given his drop in offense, some time with the minor-league club should serve his development well.
