The problem with the Regher deal for me was still the timing and Feaster not exploring more options.
Feaster NEEDED to clear salary room for his run the next week at Richards, so he was desperate and found the first party willing to listen. Buffalo was that team.
If Feaster still had Regher in the days after the July 1 for teams that didn't get the UFA defenseman they wanted, the return was likely to be better.
In hindsight, with Regher struggling, its a little less of a point, but at that time, Regher had a lot more value then you're giving him EE.
