That's the fear, right there. Barlow needs to be more than a "trigger man" (or be so unbelievably good at it that other weaknesses don't matter very much.)
Not writing off a 19 year old but this season is not a good arrow.

I now think Barlow is going to be a bit of a “project” for the #NHLJets. He might be 2 years away from being 2 years away as his game gets reshaped. We were all too high on him after he was drafted.

Barlow has really been on the decline the past couple of seasons. I hope it's just lingering effects of previous injuries & perhaps the ennui of a 4th season in the OHL. He needs to ramp up his intensity and pace of play or he'll fade away. He's still young though, and reportedly has high character.

I've no admiration for either Hezbollah or the Netanyahu administration—my point is that the reports on what's happening now have been incredibly sloppy, such that an avid news reader like me has no idea why 5 days of Israeli strikes post-ceasefire were not obvious violations but this allegedly is.

Russia now executes prisoners of war regularly. This indicates that it's not isolated soldiers or units acting on their own, but a directive from their military leadership.
Ukraine needs all the help it can get to combat this absolute evil.

How good was Ville Heinola last night? The eye test loved his game and so did the Evolving Hockey models.
Fun fact: Ville leads the #NHLJets team in both GAR/60 and xGAR/60. In fact he’s the top D in the entire NHL in xGAR/60 (13th in GAR/60)
Extremely small sample but great to see nonetheless
