He got two second rounders before playing one game as a King with Darryl Sutter. Darryl Sutter didn't make him play good for Buffalo or make him a fan favorite there and he sure didn't make the asking price for Regehr to be what it was. Regehr is not an old player. He was obviously a sought after player to get two second rounders.
Regehr was no where near close to being a 6th defencemen as a UFA. He still has plenty of game left and is a player the Flames have missed dearly.
