Regher's game has gone down since the new rules were enforced. Buffalo isn't happy with him either.
When Ryan Miller is off just a little bit, the Sabres don't win.

Regher was an elite shut down #1 for the first six years of the lockout. He had no issue whatsoever adjusting to the new rules, and he would often take Gaborik out of a game completely on his own.
Like dion, his major downfall appears to have been significant leg injuries. Which aren't either of their faults; if Dion could still skate like he could in 2008, he'd still be a Flame. Ditto regher.
