Stars Sign Jason Williams to One-Year Contract

The Dallas Stars have announced that they have signed right wing Jason Williams to a one-year, two-way contract for the remainder of the 2010-11 season. The deal will pay him $500,000 at the NHL level and $105,000 at the AHL level. In 17 games this season with Connecticut of the AHL, he has four goals and nine assists for 13 points. In 44 games last season with the Detroit Red Wings, he had six goals and nine assists for 15 points. He also missed 38 games last season with a broken fibula. Not a bad depth signing for the Stars, as Williams will bring versatility, offensive and veteran depth, and some skill to the power play.
