If you're not keeping him, 1 or ideally 2 defenseman in his mold; nasty guys that other forwards don't want to go in the corner with, and/or, players make sure they know where the guy is when their skating/waiting for a pass in the neutral zone.

Not sure who those 2D may be, but they get that set, and instantly this team is a lot better and the forwards are a couple inches taller, whoever they are.

Regehr and Adam Pardy are both UFAs this summer. A guy I'd love to see us go after is Ryan O'Byrne in Toronto. 6'5, 235, stay-at-home defenseman. 104 hits and 60 PIMS in 42 games.
