You could say that Barr moving around a lot in his junior career was a precursor to him moving around a lot during his NHL
career. The longest stay he had was 4 1/2 seasons with the Red Wings, which ended when he was awarded to the Devils.
He was a good defensive player throughout his career. He had some offensive skills, too, but didn't get to show them off all that
much while with the Devils.
He wasn't able to do much of anything with Dallas, as an elbow injury that required surgery ended his NHL career. He made it
back to the ice to finish his season in the IHL with the Kalamazoo Wings. He would continue playing until 1997, retiring while
with the Orlando Solar Bears.
Once he did, he was named assistant coach of the Houston Aeros, and has had a good resume with coaching jobs, both head
and assistant, on many levels since then. The most recent jobs he's held have been on the NHL level, being an assistant for the
Colorado Avalanche in 08-09 and for the Minnesota Wild until 2011.
That summer, Lou Lamoriello decided to add another assistant to Peter DeBoer's staff. Barr's hiring was to work with the
forwards on defense and the penalty kill. The PK has been #1 in the League all season to date.
