ECHL: Atlanta Gladiators Complete Trio of Trades

The Atlanta Gladiators have checked off three lingering trade obligations, officially closing the books on a series of moves from the 2024–25 season. The future considerations trades made today bring a new face to the blue line and send two familiar forwards to new cities, reshaping Atlanta’s roster ahead of a pivotal offseason.

Blue Line Boost: Robilotti Arrives from Bloomington

Defenseman Jack Robilotti is heading to Atlanta as the return for the December 2, 2024 trade that sent Josh Boyer to the expansion Bloomington Bison. Robilotti, 23, played eight games for the Bison last season, chipping in one assist while adjusting to the pro level after a steady NCAA career.

A native of New York City, Robilotti brings five seasons of college experience, including four years at Holy Cross where he totaled 17 points in 125 games. He wrapped up his collegiate career with UMass-Lowell, adding six points in 36 games during the 2024–25 season. Known more for his defensive responsibility and steady presence than flashy plays, Robilotti could provide a solid depth option for Atlanta as they build their blue line.

Drevitch Dealt to Orlando to Finalize Hernández Trade

Forward Tyler Drevitch has been shipped to the Orlando Solar Bears, finalizing the October 28, 2024 deal that originally brought Randy Hernandez to the Gladiators. Drevitch, 29, dressed for 25 games with Atlanta last season, tallying three goals and two assists. He also brought veteran grit and a hard-nosed style to the lineup, but with depth down the middle, the trade helps balance needs across both teams.

Hernández Heads to Wheeling as Trade Trail Ends

Randy Hernández’s time in Atlanta is now officially over, as the winger has been sent to the Wheeling Nailers to complete the October 2024 deal for forward Filip Forsmark. Hernandez, 26, was a fixture in Atlanta’s lineup last season, posting 11 goals and nine assists in 65 games. He brought speed offensive creativity, and his departure marks the end of a trade sequence that spanned multiple teams and nearly the entire season.

The Bigger Picture

For the Gladiators, these moves reflect a necessary step in offseason housekeeping—but also signal how much flux still surrounds the roster. While Hernández and Drevitch head out, Robilotti arrives with untapped potential and a shot at carving out a role in a lineup searching for stability.

With the summer just heating up, Atlanta’s front office is certainly far from finished.
