Stuart Douglas "Stu" Barnes (born December 25, 1970 in Spruce Grove , Alberta ) is a former Canadian ice hockey player and current coach and official who played 1252 games for the Winnipeg Jets between 1986 and 2008, among other things . Florida Panthers , Pittsburgh Penguins , Buffalo Sabers and Dallas Stars competed in the National Hockey League on the position of the center . Barnes, who was selected in fourth overall position in the NHL Entry Draft in 1989 , celebrated his greatest career success in the jersey of the Canadian U20 national team by winning the Junior World Championship in 1990 . He has been a scout for the Seattle Kraken since September 2019 and has been co-owner of the Tri-City Americans from the Western Hockey League since 2004 .

Career

After Barnes had played for three years in the Western Hockey League with the New Westminster Bruins and Tri-City Americans between 1987 and 1990 , he moved to the Canadian national team in 1990/91 . He had previously been selected by the Winnipeg Jets in fourth overall position in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft .

For the Jets, the Canadian made his debut in the NHL in the 1991/92 season and remained loyal to this until the 1993/94 season before he was transferred to the Florida Panthers . There he stood in 1996 in the Stanley Cup Finals, which, however, against the Colorado Avalanche with a sweep was lost. In the following season he moved to the Pittsburgh Penguins . After three years there he was exchanged for Matthew Barnaby for the Buffalo Sabers in the 1998/99 season . There he moved into the Stanley Cup final again in the same season, where Buffalo had to admit defeat to the Dallas Stars after six games . After he was named captain of the team in 2001, he moved to the Dallas Stars in the 2002/03 season . He has played there ever since and serves as the assistant captain when one of the regular assistants Mike Modano or Sergei Subow is absent. In the summer of 2007, he signed a one-year contract for an estimated $ 900,000 a year. He then ended his active career. Although he was never a big point or goal producer, Barnes brought it again and again to a constant number of appearances in his teams, as he was considered a good defensive player and face-off specialist .

After his senior year, he retired from his career and took an assistant coach position with the Stars. He held this position for two years, then left the team and was reinstated in the same position in June 2017. Together with Olaf Kölzig , he is also co-owner of the Tri-City Americans in the Western Hockey League , for which both played before their NHL careers. Both bought the franchise in 2004 from a group led by Brian Burke and Glen Sather who had acquired the team two years earlier.

After the 2018/19 season, he left the Stars and was hired as a scout for the new Seattle NHL franchise in September 2019, which was named Seattle Kraken in July 2020 .

International

For his home country Barnes took part with the Canadian U20 national team at the 1990 World Junior Championship in Finland . He won the gold medal with the team, to which he contributed six scorer points in seven tournament games .
