Interesting swap here - Florida's banking on Okuliar's upside as a prospect while moving out a defenseman who hasn't quite locked in a role. The Panthers must be feeling pretty confident about their blue line depth to make this deal.

Pieniniemi for some kid nobody's heard of? That's the kind of deal that looks smart on a spreadsheet and dumb in November when they need bodies that can actually skate.

@GrumpyInGrosse, I'm with you, that's one way to describe Pieniniemi as a "body" who can skate, but I think Detroit fans might remember him as more than that from his time in the Soo and Griffins.
