If regehr's .5 ppg in chl turned into 1 goal every 40 game in the nhl...and kanzigs 2 goals per ahl season turn into 0 goals per NHL season...does it matter how good either are offensively in the chl. Neither are good enough to be offensive NHL defensemen.
Basicly, I'd suggest just looking at his defensive stay at home game because that's what's going to make or break his career. And judging by his plus minus he looks like he's doing just fine.

Actually I read an article about Santini having a high bust factor since he had 0 goals in his draft year. The columnist did the math for the last 10 years and there was only 3-5** guys that have stuck in the NHL with under 0.5ppg in their draft year as d man. So you are onto something. Wish I could find the article.
Edit: I don't remember what he set the bar at for games played.
