Barber needs an excellent camp to reinvigorate his NHL aspirations, JJ Reagan of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Barber was once a highly touted prospect for the Capitals, having contributed solid totals in the NCAA ranks while being an impactful player for Team USA in international tournaments. However, he has struggled mightily since a 55-point rookie campaign in 2015-16. Reagan rightly speculates that the upcoming training camp is a watershed moment for Barber, who will need a strong performance to regain his luster in the minds of the organization that drafted him in the sixth round of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, to possibly earn a chance to showcase his talents in the big league.
