First of all, you can never look at Barlow's point totals- you have to concentrate on his goals, as he will always have a lopsided goals-assists. Right now, he's tied for 21st in the OHL in goals, which still ain't great for a player of his stature.
He asked for a trade this past off-season from Owen Sound, which was eventually granted, and he's now playing for Oshawa- who are tied for 5th-overall. I do think that Oshawa is a much more structured team, which might be eating in to his production, but that doesn't seem to be affecting his teammates Beckett Sennecke, or Callum Ritchie. The real culprit here (other than injuries) is that it took him some time this season to get acclimated to a new team, with a new system. He had 0 points in his first 6 games, and only 13 points in his first 20.
