So. Robyn Regehr.
Regehr is a solid defender. His numbers the last two years are almost identical; 2G 15A 17P +2 (the only difference is that he played 81 games in 09/10 and 79 last season). He feels like a better version of Shaone Morrisonn. To me he feels like a good anchor defenseman, a strong, tough player who's numbers (if not his style) are very comparable to former Sabre Henrik Tallinder.
I am going to be a very happy fan/armchair analyst if this is true. Kevin Bieksa is going to be the big fish this year when it comes to defensemen, and his cost will likely be well north of the 4.05 Million that we'd be playing Regehr for the next two years. It's also worth noting, looking at the numbers, that Bieksa and Regehr's playoff numbers are almost identical in the cup years. Now, it's fair to say that Regehr isn't the guy he was in 2004, offensively speaking. But, I'm excited about the possibility of a Myers/Regehr top, lockdown defensive pairing.
The only questions are, will he waive his no-move clause and what's the cost? If it's Boyes, I'm happy. If it's a prospect and a pick I'm probably still happy, but I really want to know who that prospect is first.
We certainly will see.
