Steve Werier was relieved of his duties as assistant general manager of the Florida Panthers, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie. The move is believed to have been made prior to the expansion draft on June 21.

It's another stage in a seemingly ongoing shakeup in the Panthers' front office over the past couple of years.

After one year serving solely as president of hockey operations, Dale Tallon was handed back the GM title April 10 in place of Tom Rowe, who had also coached the team last season. Werier and Eric Joyce remained on as assistants, with the former apparently having since been let go.

Former NHL defensemen Chris Pronger and Bryan McCabe have been added to the front-office staff since the expansion draft.
