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.

Flames Re-Sign Defenseman Adam Pardy

The Calgary Flames announced on Wednesday that they have re-signed defenseman Adam Pardy. Length and terms of the deal were not disclosed. Last season with the Flames and his first in the NHL, Pardy appeared in 60 games, scoring one goal and nine assists for 10 points and 69 penalty minutes. Not a bad signing for the Flames, as Pardy is a physical defenseman who plays with some grit. Given the depth on their blueline next season, he will likely be a sixth or seventh defenseman.
