Here's Stars GM Jim Nill on the Travis Moen-Sergei Gonchar trade:

"Travis Moen is a big, strong power forward. He is going to bring a presence on the ice for us. He’s a great character guy and he’s been around the league a long time. Sergei and I talked, things just weren’t fitting in for him here. He wanted an opportunity somewhere if it was available. In the end, we had some young defensemen we want to start getting ice time. It was time to start bringing the young defensemen in. It’s an opportunity for some of the younger defensemen to start growing into their positions. That’s why Klingberg is up here."
