‘According to Sabres general manager Darcy Regier, “My conversations with (Regehr) were terrific. It was never about, ‘I don’t want to come to Buffalo.’ He said, ‘Buffalo is an option.’ He talked to a number of players – Jordan Leopold, who played in Calgary with him – Rhett Warrener, others. This is maybe the secret of Buffalo. From the outside, you may have one image. When players come to play there, they love it.”‘
