Stars Sign Defenseman Adam Pardy to Two-Year Deal

The Dallas Stars have announced that they have signed defenseman Adam Pardy to a two-year contract worth $4 million. The deal will pay him $2 million per season. In 30 games last season with the Calgary Flames, he had one goal and six assists for seven points. He missed 25 games early in the 2010-11 season with a shoulder injury and the last 27 games of the season with an upper body injury. Not a bad depth signing for the Stars, as Pardy brings the team plenty of size and a little bit of grit on defense. However, $2 million per season is a bit much for him, so he will really have to prove he is worth that money at training camp and throughout the course of the regular season.
