During his active professional career, which lasted from 1981 to 1997, the right winger completed over 600 games in the National Hockey League . Since July 2017 he has been the assistant coach of the San Jose Sharks , after having already looked after several other NHL teams in this role.
Career
As a player
Dave Barr was born in Toronto but grew up in Alberta . In his youth he played for the Billings Bighorns , Edmonton Oil Kings , Great Falls Americans , Portland Winter Hawks and Lethbridge Broncos in the Western Hockey League between 1978 and 1981 . Without being considered in an NHL Entry Draft , the Boston Bruins from the National Hockey League (NHL) signed him in September 1981 . For the Bruins, the right winger came to only twelve missions in two years and spent most of the time in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Erie Blades and the Baltimore Skipjacks , the farm teams of the Bruins. In October 1983 Barr was finally handed over to Dave Silk to the New York Rangers , who also used him in their farm team, the Tulsa Oilers , and in March 1984 with a third-round vote in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft to the St. Louis Blues transferred. In return, the Rangers got Larry Patey and the rights to Bob Brooke .
In the Blues, Barr established himself for the first time in the squad of an NHL team and came to 150 missions in St. Louis by October 1986, when he was given in exchange for Tim Bothwell to the Hartford Whalers . As early as January 1987, they sent them on to the Detroit Red Wings , who in return sent Randy Ladouceur to Hartford. With the Red Wings Barr spent his most successful NHL years, so he came in the season 1988/89 on 59 scorer points in 72 games, which should be his personal best. After four and a half years, however, his time in Detroit ended involuntarily in September 1991 when an independent NHL referee awarded the player rights to him and Randy McKay to the New Jersey Devils in compensation for the signing of Troy Crowder as a free agent .
In New Jersey, the attacker could no longer build on his performance shown at the Red Wings. In August 1993, he joined the Dallas Stars as a free agent , but missed most of the following season due to elbow surgery. In the following three years he let his career with the Kalamazoo Wings and the Orlando Solar Bears in the International Hockey League (IHL) come to an end, with him getting 100 scorer points for the Solar Bears in the 1995/96 season .
After the 1996/97 season , Barr ended his active career. In total, he came to 614 missions in the NHL and scored 128 goals, 204 assists and 332 points scorer.
As a trainer
Synonymous with the end of his active career, Barr was introduced in July 1997 as an assistant coach with the Houston Eros from the IHL. For the 2000/01 season he took over the Eros as head coach, before moving to management as the team's general manager after just one season. In this role, he won the Calder Cup with the team in the American Hockey League in 2003 , to which the team had meanwhile switched. In 2004 he took over the Guelph Storm in personal union as head coach and general manager, and in 2006 he was awarded the Matt Leyden Trophy as the best coach of the Ontario Hockey League .
After four years in the junior division, Barr returned to the NHL for the 2008-09 season when the Colorado Avalanche hired him as an assistant to Tony Granato . Over the next few years, he was in the position of assistant coach in a number of NHL teams, namely the Minnesota Wild (2009-2011), the New Jersey Devils (2011-2015), the Buffalo Sabers (2015/16) and the Florida Panthers (2016/17). In July 2017, Barr was introduced to the San Jose Sharks as Peter DeBoer's new assistant , with whom he had previously worked in New Jersey.
