Luckily Sutter fixed Regehr when he came along. People forget that Regehr wasn't looking too hot until Sutter got ahold of him.
Flames were as allergic to trading for draft picks then as they are now.

Roberts for Giguere was another good trade, but unlike Regehr, Giguere didn't turn it on until he was shipped out.
