It looks to be PTO season for the NHL, as the Florida Panthers have issued the most recent PTO to defenseman Adam Pardy.

Pardy, 32, split last season between the Winnipeg Jets and the Edmonton Oilers, ending the season with a cumulative minus-7 with 14 penalty minutes and four points in 23 NHL games played.

The 6’4”, 227-pound blue liner has 338 NHL games under his belt and has amassed 263 penalty minutes in that time. Not by any means an offensive defenseman, Pardy is a level headed stay-at-home defenseman that focuses on preventing scoring chances.

Originally a sixth round, 173rd overall, selection in the 2004 NHL Draft by the Calgary Flames, Pardy made his NHL debut with the Flames during the 2008-09 season. A journeyman defenseman he has played with the Flames, Dallas Stars, Buffalo Sabres, Winnipeg Jets, and the Edmonton Oilers during his eight-season NHL career.

The native of Bonavista, Newfoundland scored his first NHL point against the Florida Panthers, whom have now offered him a PTO, in December of 2008.
