[edit] Trivia
- He is currently part owner, along with former teammate Olaf Kolzig, of the Tri-City Americans of the WHL; both previously played for the Americans.
- In his first game for Dallas, Barnes had to be reassured that the fans were not booing him because of his status as a former Buffalo Sabre. They were, in fact, yelling "Stu" whenever he touched the puck as a sign of respect. This was also done for him by Buffalo fans during his time with the Sabres.
- Stu and his wife, Julie, have one daughter (Riely) and one son (Jack). The family spends the offseason in Washington state.
