Regehr was not a player we wanted to trade. Especially given the fact that we are in the middle of a playoff race and he has played very well since being acquired. But in the words of the immortal Million Dollar man Ted Dibiase "Everybody's got a price". and the chance to land a defenseman of Whitney's potential was to much to turn down. At 24 years old and already having a 59 point NHL season behind him we felt we could be a better team long term with him on-board. With Komisarek already on our blueline it made Regehr's physical and shutdown abilities movable.
We wish Robyn all the best in Anaheim and hope that his stay there is longer this time.
