In 2012, Barrasso was hired by Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) as a member of its coaching staff.

At the time of his debut with the Sabres on October 5, 1983, less than six months after graduating from high school, Barrasso was the youngest goaltender to play and win a game in the NHL since Harry Lumley nearly forty years prior.

A fiercely proud competitor, in his later seasons in Pittsburgh he developed a strained relationship with the local media, who he felt were disrespectful of him and his family.

In March 2000, Barrasso was traded to the Ottawa Senators for Ron Tugnutt and Janne Laukkanen in a deal that was seen as a risk for both teams.

After evening the series, Barrasso caused a furor during the CBC's broadcast when he said during an on-air interview on April 20 that he "really couldn't give a shit what you people have to say".

[3] Barrasso would apologize the next day for using vulgar language, although he stood by his sentiments in the interview, stating the year had been very stressful for him.

[4][5] Barasso also enjoyed some international success this season, winning a Silver medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics playing for Team USA.

Barasso expressed interest in playing with the Hurricanes following a June 2001 dinner with former Pittsburgh teammate Ron Francis, who had since joined Carolina.

Unsigned to a new deal in the NHL offseason, Barrasso began the season as a free agent before later signing a contract with the St. Louis Blues on November 4, 2002.

[8] Barrasso would only appear in 6 contests with the Blues between November 12 and 29, recording one win, before mutually agreeing with the team to release him from his contract on December 28.

[10] He signed a pro forma contract with Pittsburgh on the day he declared retirement so he could leave hockey as a Penguin.

[13] Barrasso won an Olympic silver medal as part of the U.S. national men's ice hockey team at the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City.

[16] The team won the Coppa Italia, but refused to join the newly founded Alps Hockey League.

Based in Wedemark, Lower Saxony, the Scorpions aim to leverage Barrasso’s extensive experience as they continue their pursuit of success in the league.
