NHL Defensemen & Prospects Shake-Up

The Colorado Avalanche addressed their defensive corps Friday by re-signing veteran defensemen Brett Kulak and Brent Burns, securing key pieces for their blue line. In a separate move, the Buffalo Sabres acquired defenseman Olen Zellweger from the Anaheim Ducks, sending prospect Anton Wahlberg and a second-round pick in the NHL Draft. Meanwhile, the Ottawa Senators are set to sign defenseman Jordan Spence to a four-year, $20 million contract, rewarding his contributions during a season marked by injuries.
