Penguins First To Trade; Acquire Defenseman Jordan Leopold From Florida

Well, Shero didn't waste any time.

In what could be a sign of more movement to come on the Penguins' blueline, I am told that Penguins GM has acquired defenseman Jordan Leopold from the Florida Panthers for a 2nd round pick in this year's NHL entry draft.

The team is in the process of calling in the trade with the NHL now.

Leopold is a smaller, puck-moving defenseman in the Alex Goligoski mold. He has 7 goals, 11 assists and 18 points in 61 games. He's also -7 on the season.

Speaking of GoGo, I think this increases the odds GoGo is on the way out, perhaps for a winger.

More soon.
