Byron isn't worth a 1st, but Feaster got worked on that trade. Kaberle who was a rental, got Colborne, a 1st and a conditional pick. While Regehr wasn't quite on the level Kabs was back then, he wasn't a rental and is signed to a good contract. I see no reason why a decent roster player (ie. Butler) and a 1st shouldn't of been the return. For that reason, I'll always feel it was a poor deal especially considering we unnecessarily used Regehr to dump Kotalik and lost a 2nd in the process. At least Butler is a decent dman though.
