Baer. Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 And the cap takes it's next victim....http://thehockeywriters.com/andrej-meszaros-signs-khl-deal/ Former Buffalo Sabres defenseman Andrej Meszaros has signed a one-year contract with Sibir Novosibirsk, the team announced on Friday.Meszaros looked for a new contract in the NHL over the summer, ultimatelytaking a PTO with the Colorado Avalanche, but he was never offered a contract for the season.Leaving aside that he was literally sent to Siberia, the 30-year-old Slovakian defender joins a team who sits atop the East in the KHL, giving Meszaros a chance at some success and, barring a NHL return in coming seasons, the team may have acquired a former NHLer with a good number of productive years left in the tank. It's a one year deal, so it's safe to say he may come back next year and test free agency again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Meszaros definitely has more gas left in the tank to be a good top 6 D. Too many prospects on every team wanting to make the jump pushing out mid-level veteran players who still have a few good seasons and Meszaros is just another victim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 definitely a serviceable defenseman but yeah salary cap and teams pushing their youth through their systems earlier to get those cheap contract working for them. Highly likely he is in the NHL next season, his style compliments offense and the transition game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
