Pens Acquire Eric Cairns

The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired rugged defenseman Eric Cairns from the Florida Panthers for a 6th round pick. Cairns, who is 6' 6" and 241 pounds, should be a nice addition to a team that has seemed to lack toughness lately.

Cairns has played in 429 NHL games with the Panthers, New York Rangers and New York Islanders. He has accumulated 41 points and 1,090 penalty minutes over the course of his career. He is known for his physical play and should really help in front of the net and with keeping heat off of Sidney Crosby.
