Barber put pen to paper on a one-year, two-way deal with Dallas on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Barber has logged just 16 games at the NHL level for the Capitals, Canadiens and Red Wings without having registered a point yet. As such, the 28-year-old winger should probably be expected to spend the bulk of the upcoming season in the minors, though he could get the occasional call-up.

Barber was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Barber may still be elevated back to the NHL roster in time for Friday's clash with the Devils. When on the roster, the 28-year-old winger has served primarily as a healthy scratch watching from the press box, though he has appeared in four games for the club in which he has recorded four shots, three hits and two PIM.

Barber was elevated from AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Barber has been limited to just four games this season and is still looking for his first NHL point after stints in Washington and Montreal. If Barber does get into Tuesday's clash with the Leafs, it figures to be in a bottom-six role, where he figures to offer no more than low-end fantasy value.
