There's also Reinhart and Macoun.
Regehr was good, but at least two of those guys were a level above him.

McCrimmon was a hell of a player, he will be discussed at length starting tomorrow I'm sure. he finished 4th (Suter ahead of him) and 6th (MacInnis ahead of him, Suter right behind- 3 of the top 7 D!) in Norris voting in two of his three years here, never 2nd I don't think
On the other hand Regehr played I would guess about 3.5 times as many games in the Flaming C as Sarge
its one of the tricky things about this exercise- even if we all agree we are focusing only on Flames tenure, how to compare quantity versus quality
