Help For The Tampa Defense

from Lightning Strikes,
Marek Malik could be the next addition to the Lightning’s ever-evolving defense. The 6-foot-5, 233-pound unrestricted free agent is expected in Tampa this week, though it is unclear if he will sign a one-year, $1-million contract or practice as a tryout.
Add the expected return, perhaps as soon as Thursday against the Islanders, of Paul Ranger (shoulder), and Saturday’s addition of Lukas Krajicek, and you have a real episode of Extreme Makeover.
After the team (0-2-1) allowed 126 shots, the worst three-game stretch in club history, it needs it.

I wondered why Tampa didn’t sign him earlier. Malik is still a top 4 defenceman in this league despite the fact he is a tall guy thats not physical.
