Shawn Weller had just completed a round of golf in early September when he noticed there were several missed calls from the Ottawa Senators on his phone.

A few minutes later he had the news.

"They told me I'd been traded to Anaheim and gave me the number of the guys to contact in Anaheim," said Weller, a Glens Falls, N.Y. native, who was drafted in the third round by the Senators in 2004 and played in their minor-league system for two years. "It was a complete shock. I was actually ready to go to Ottawa in the next day or two to start skating and training there before training camp."
