Meszaros out for the year

Will undergo shoulder surgery, done for the year.

EDIT: AND Paul Ranger. That hurts.

wow, huge blow to team that is scarce on D anyway, guess they shouldn't have stockpiled all those forwards. This definitely means Tampa are sellers right, if they weren't before? Vinny still isn't moving by the way, no matter what anyone says.

Yowza.

Imagine we traded them Kuba for their first round pick...epic.

Makes the trade for Kuba and Picard look even better

My goodness. Not that it really matters though, they've got an even slimmer chance than we do to make the playoffs.

He just needs to have the surgery and be better by next season.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Oh, crap, was I laughing out loud!? My bad.

Seriously though, not that anyone can foresee injuries to key personel, but everyone knows Players go down with injuries, and while those morons in the front office @ TB were stockpiling Forwards, they let their D go to dung... This is yet another terrible blow to that org, and like SF said and I do agree, Vinny is going nowhere...

But they could bolster their D by trading him.
