Reporter: Some have said your move to Baltimore was a blatant attempt to finally win a long-awaited Challenge Cup. Is this true?

Adam Barron: Yes.

Reporter: Can you elaborate?

AB: I’ve played with some great people on some great teams in the past, but there’s one thing in particular that’s missing in my trophy cabinet: a Challenge Cup. The last—and only—time I went deep in the playoffs, which was the Conference finals several seasons ago against Buffalo, left me eager to go deep again.

Reporter: Do you believe Baltimore has the chance to contend?

AB: With the start we’ve had, I’d call us favourites. Everyone’s firing on all cylinders and the team is stacked with skill and depth. Anyone can win in the post-season, but management has done what it can to provide us with the best possible chance to succeed, and I commend them for it.

Reporter: How do you feel your season has gone so far?

AB: I’m blessed to play an important role on the team, and I’ve been great on both sides of the puck this year. It’s easy with the players surrounding me; I’m just happy I’m living up to their performances. I’d hate to lag behind, which is a real danger at my age and at this stage in my career.

Reporter: Speaking of careers, do you feel that you’ll be an important part of the team moving forward?

AB: If I’m honest, this is likely my final season as a top pairing defenseman. But that’s OK, I’m more than willing to accept a lesser role next season… and beyond, if management will have me. As of right now, though, I’m focused on keeping up with everyone else.

Reporter: Thanks for the quick interview, Adam.

AB: You got it.
