Latest Fantasy Rumors
Will suit up for USA
RWDetroit Red Wings  Free Agent
May 5, 2022
Barber will join Team USA at the 2022 IIHF World Championship, the team announced Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Barber has played in just 16 NHL games during his career for the Capitals, Canadiens and Red Wings in which he has yet to register an NHL point. With his contract expiring this offseason, Barber will likely be hard-pressed to secure a one-way deal and should be expected to once again split his time between the NHL and AHL next year.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2017
2014
The sixth-round pick from the 2012 NHL Entry Draft posted a fine stat line of 13 goals and 27 points in just 39 games with the AHL's Hershey Bears in 2016-17. A standout at the NCAA level and a veteran of Team USA's World Championship rosters, the versatile forward has been one of the more intriguing prospects in the organization for some time but may benefit from added development in the minor league ranks. Should he make the Caps full-time lineup, he could carve out some fantasy value in deeper leagues given his skillset.
A sixth-round pick by the Capitals, Barber is emerging as a potential steal in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. Since being selected, the Michigan native has had a terrific NCAA career at the Miami University in Ohio, tallying 34 goals and 83 points in 78 games for the RedHawks. Barber further impressed scouts with his solid all-around game at the 2014 IIHF Under-20 World Championships in Sweden, producing four goals and six points in five games for the United States. Though smaller in stature, Barber possesses a two-way game that should allow him to make the NHL ranks one day, although it remains to be seen whether his offense will translate to the professional level. At the very least, he has the makings of a top-nine NHL forward.
