Saw this today. Amazing how quickly this guys stock has dropped.

From Rotoworld:

Former Oiler defenseman Cam Barker was released by the Texas Stars of the AHL Saturday.

He did not show enough to earn a spot on the club's roster. it has been a rapid decline for Barker, who was once thought to be one of the NHL's brightest young rearguards. We doubt he will have any fantasy value again

I read this as Cam "Fowler" and was in total disbelief. I'm tracking you now.

He's really fallen off. From what I saw, he looked mediocre at best in Texas.

Sign him Kenny!

There won't be a season anyway, so we can undo it later.

According to my profile, my reputation is excellent. LOL.

Rumor has it he could be trying out for Vancouver. I wonder if Vancouver is gonna have Jim Vandermeer at camp, too.
