In a surprise move, the Florida Panthers have shaken up their blue line by trading for Finnish defenseman Emil Pieniniemi from the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 23-year-old Pieniniemi, who has yet to make his NHL debut, brings a promising young talent to the Panthers' defense corps. In exchange, the Penguins will receive the rights to Slovakian winger Oliver Okuliar, a prospect who has been rising through the Panthers' farm system. The trade is expected to provide a boost to the Panthers' depth and potentially give them a new option for the future.
