Mag and Ryan, thanks for the replies.  That is what I thought as well when they brought this all up.  I did some research and didn't find anything.  I thought maybe I missed something and there was some new, better way to keep rank when changing URLs.

We are working with a company on re-platforming our website.  On a call yesterday they outlined a strategy to use 200 redirects for our top keywords instead of 301s.  I am not familiar with this type of redirect and was wondering if anyone could provide some more insight.
