After suffering a shoulder injury and missing 52 games last season, Adam Pardy will be fully recovered by the start of the year. "It's feeling great. The surgery was back in February, so it's been almost five months now. It's feeling great. There hasn't been an issue with it so far. Doctors said it would be six months, so give it another month and you're technically cleared to play. I know I could play right now." Pardy recently signed a two-year, $4 million contract with Dallas and is looking forward to taking on a bigger role than he played as a member of the Flames.
