Regehr/Leopold for three second round picks
Pominville for ridiculous return
That's a pretty good year for a GM. Buffalo may be in the dumps now but they won't be for long with proactive activity like that.

I still think its too early to judge the Kassian - Hodgson deal, looks good now but power forwards take time. I don't really see Hodgson as a 1st line centre. If both guys develop to their max potentials Canucks win the trade;
Personally, I don't like the two first rounders the Sabres made. I think Grogorenko won't be long for the NHL and Girgensen is probably a 3rd line centre at best;
Not sure how you can call Ott for Roy a good trade;
The other deadline deals for sure we're good in terms of their return. The were definitely better returns than what Feaster got but then you are comparing to probably the worst negotiating GM in the history of the NHL so it's not really saying much.
Regier had made some brutal signings and has cost his owner a lot of money over the past two seasons, both of which they've missed the playoffs. In the big picture, Regier has failed miserably, but I guess to Certain perspectives, such as HF and Oiler fans who over value draft picks and prospects and the future, Regier has been super successful.
