He signed for $600,000 as a free agent last summer.

Stars general manager Jim Nill said the following about the 31-year-old:

Adam stepped into our lineup this season and established himself as a valuable member of our team. He plays a heavy, physical game, and has been steady and reliable for us all season long.
