Fantasy Analysis
Cam Barker only signed a one-year deal with Edmonton so these next three games will determine whether or not he has a future with the Oilers. (Updated 04/02/2012).
03/01/2012 01:11 Blues beat Oilers, tie for Central lead
Andy McDonald scored twice and Kevin Shattenkirk had a goal and two assists as the St. Louis Blues defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 on Wednesday night.
Barker looked to be a breakout star in 2008-09 with the Blackhawks, when he scored six goals and added 34 assists. However, in the past two seasons combined, he had only six goals and 20 assists as the bloom came off the rose and Barker found himself on the waiver wire. But the Oilers signed Barker to a one-year contract hoping to have found a diamond in the rough. Barker has talent and is only 25 years of age, so this looks to be a low-risk/high-reward type of signing. The Oilers have yet to state who will pair with Barker and/or if he will play on the power play, but Edmonton does not have many better option in their defensive corps and Barker will get every opportunity to prove he deserves big minutes once training camp opens.
