I'm friends with a Calgary fan and he wasn't too upset when they traded Regehr to us. He said he's slow, he's old and his best years are behind him. I think Robyn was great for us at the beginning of the season but he's definitely slowed down as the year has dragged on. I wouldn't consider him our top shutdown guy now, and he's more of a liability than he was at the beginning of the season because of his slow feet. Very similar to Rivet, I loved him his first year here but then age and injuries caught up with him. Of course a tough veteran defenseman is a good thing to have on a playoff team, but Regier's mistake is getting these guys who have multiple years left of high salary contracts. The biggest problem with Regehr is management made such a big deal out of bringing him here, we can't bury him in the minors like Morrisson or Rivet.
