I had the pleasure of meeting Robyn and his wife after his last year in Calgary. When the season was over, before the trade. I checked them in for a flight to go see his brother play in Europe.
The whole family was very humble. I wished him luck and was very disappointed when he was traded.
What some people forget is that as mean as he was on the ice, he is truly a gentle giant in person. Great with his kids too.
I think the Regehr trade was a big part of Feaster's dismissal. The return was horrible. The Flames have been looking for a top 4 defenseman with his skill set since he left. Very hard to find.
