Former Florida Panthers center Stu Barnes has joined Fox Sports Southwest as a studio analyst for Dallas Stars games. He had worked in an assistant coach capacity for several years with that club. He joins former Panthers defenseman Brent Severyn on the television panel.
Barnes played for the Florida Panthers from 1993 until 1996. He helped the team get their first playoff series win in 1996 as they defeated the Boston Bruins in five games. After the Cats upset the defending Eastern Conference champion Philadelphia Flyers in the second round, they edged the Pittsburgh Penguins in seven games for the Eastern Conference championship. The Panthers were swept by the Colorado Avalanche in the 1996 Stanley Cup Finals.
He was traded along with Jason Woolley in November 1996 to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Chris Wells in what many considered the worst trade in Panthers franchise history. Barnes was then sent to the Buffalo Sabres in March 1999 where he helped them win the Eastern Conference title three months later. He played his final five seasons with the Dallas Stars.
