I liked a lot of Button's comments on Barkov. The intelligence and hands. The Maturity and the Kipper esque ice cold blood in his veins comments. Being called the best player on the ice (yes, even though it was one game) against Bonifide NHL stars was also a nice compliment. You can argue the Mikko Koivu isn't really a star but I like the style of hockey he plays.
One thing he didn't bring up is his reach. You can see it in the videos that his reach is quite an asset.
