There is a user on HFboards that has announced that Meszaros has been given an offer sheet from Tampa Bay and it is well over the price of what Murray is negotiating
I think this is very real, and if it is over 4 million I hope Mezzy does not sign here, from that we get a 1st round pick, a 2nd and a 3rd
Now Tampa Bay does not have their 3rd round pick, they traded it to Pittsburgh, so I am thinking they will trade Ouellet back to Pitt to aquire the 3rd, it makes sense considering Pittsburgh lost some offense when Hossa, Malone ect... left
Here is the compensation chart
$863,156 or less None
$863,156 - $1,307,811 3rd round pick
$1,307,881 - $2,615,623 2nd round pick
$2,615,623 - $3,923,434 1st and 3rd round pick
$3,923,434 - $5,231,246 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round pick
$5,231,246 - $6,539,061 Two 1st's, one 2nd, one 3rd round pick
$6,539,061 or more four 1st round picks
