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.

Regier made one bad signing, the Leino deal. Ehrhoff has been our number one D for two years at a reasonable contract, and the jury is still out on Myers.
Roy for Ott was an awesome trade. Not sure if you've been following, but Ott has more goals, comparable number of points, has become a leader on the team, and brings a physical/pest presence that was sorely missing. Roy bumbled around on Dallas for 30 games and got traded.
Not sure what's wrong with valuing draft picks, prospects, and the future. If Calgary had done that at any point in the last ten years they probably wouldn't be in the position they are now.
