"We needed a #1 defenseman and that's what Rob brings to the table. He's an 80 OV and not too many guys are that in this league and will play on the first pairing in Atlanta. To get him we had to move Stuart but we are happy with the upgrade we got on d. Walz wasn't in our plans for this upcoming season as he would have been on our 4th line and we weren't prepared to pay him that much. He'll get more minutes in Colorado and we wish him all the best there."

To Colorado:

Stuart
Walz

To Atlanta:

Blake
