WOZNIEWSKI TO PITTSBURGH

The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired defenseman Andy Wozniewski from the St. Louis Blues for defenseman Danny Richmond.

What does it give the Pittsburgh Penguins
Wozniewski has size and NHL experience, so he could be a No. 7 defenseman for the Pens if more trades are made. Otherwise, he is AHL depth. He's a steadier defender than Richmond.

What does it give the St. Louis Blues
Richmond has more of a physical edge to his game, and more offensive upside, than Wozniewski. However, he has a lack of discipline in his game that has so far prevented him from becoming an NHL regular. He is a good low-risk acquisition for the Blues at this time.
