Panthers Acquire T.J. Fast from Blues for Graham Mink

The Florida Panthers have announced that they have acquired defenseman T.J. Fast from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for right wing Graham Mink. In 18 games last season with Peoria of the AHL, Fast had one assist. He also appeared in 46 games with Alaska of the ECHL, scoring 10 goals and 21 assists for 31 points. Mink had 20 goals and 17 assists for 37 points last season with Rochester of the AHL. This is really just a depth move for both teams, as both players will likely spend all of next season in the minors.
