TSN - A day after being acquired from Ottawa, restricted free-agent defenseman Andrej Meszaros has signed a six-year deal with the Tampa Bay, according to TSN Canada.

"The acquisition and signing of Andrej is a strong statement to our players and our fans that the Lightning ownership group is committed to putting the best product on the ice now and for years to come," said executive vice-president of hockey operations Brian Lawton in a statement.
