Stu Barnes Retires, Joins Stars Coaching Staff

DALLAS (AP) ― Dallas Stars center Stu Barnes has announced his retirement, ending a 16-year playing career in the National Hockey League.

The Stars said Thursday that the 37-year-old Barnes has agreed to a 2-year contract to join Dave Tippett's coaching staff as an assistant. The Stars also announced 2-year contract extensions for associate coach Rick Wilson and assistant coach Mark Lamb to take them through the 2010-11 season.

Barnes amassed 261 goals and 336 assists for 597 points in his 1,136-game NHL career, 329 of those games coming with the Stars. He also played in 116 career Stanley Cup Playoff games in 12 postseasons.

Barnes was drafted by Winnipeg in 1989 and has played with the Florida Panthers, Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres. The Stars traded for him in March 2003.
