Of course, it didn't take long for the Lightning to lock up Andrej Meszaros to his new deal. Meszaros has reportedly signed a 6-year deal, but his financial numbers have only been rumoured. The belief is that the number could be anywhere between $4 million and $5.5 million per season, either has a bit of a story of their own.If the Lightning managed to sneak him into the line-up at only $4 million per season, it makes people wonder how the Senators didn't sign him, if they were only offering $3.5 million. If Meszaros is signed on for over $5 million, the Sens still look rather smart in dealing him, since their return will only cost them almost $4 million in total.
Either way, the Lightning will have their salary cap number over $50 million and they keep room to move another top defenseman on the team. At Meszaros' potential salary, you would think that they already have their top defenseman, but at his age, they may want to consider getting some back-up for Meszaros, because he hasn't quite proved himself to be the top guy quite yet.
