Yesterday, the Sabres dealt Robyn Regehr to the LA Kings. The veteran defenseman agreed to waive his no-trade clause and accepted a trade to the defending Cup champs. He makes $4 million this year before turning unrestricted this summer.

Buffalo GM Darcy Regier did well unloading the 32-year old Regehr for two second round picks in 2014 and 2015. The Sabres acquired him from Calgary a couple of summers ago. With Buffalo under performing, they decided to be sellers. Having already moved blueliner Jordan Leopold to St. Louis Saturday for a second round pick and conditional fifth in this year’s Draft, they continued to retool by trading Regehr. In two seasons with Buffalo, he participated in 105 games tallying seven points and 77 penalty minutes. He totaled 65 hits and 50 blocked shots in 29 contests this year with two assists.

The Kings made the move for the defensive defenseman due to an injury to Matt Greene. They also learned that Willie Mitchell will miss the entire season after recovering from knee surgery. Greene is expected to miss the rest of the regular season.

Pominville Next? For Buffalo, they also could be trading captain Jason Pominville next. Pominville has spent his entire nine-year career with the Sabres. Originally selected in the second round of the ’01 Draft, the 30-year old right wing has been one of the club’s most consistent scorers. In 577 games, he’s registered 185 goals, 269 assists for 454 points.

The man known as Pommer has put up five or more seasons of 60+ points. He has been part of two teams that made the Eastern Conference Final. That included a memorable shorthanded goal as a rookie to oust Ottawa in ’06. It came with the Sabres down two men. He went around Daniel Alfredsson and Wade Redden for the highlight reel goal that advanced Buffalo to the Conference Finals. They also made it in ’07.

This season, Pominville ranks fourth in team scoring with 23 points (10-13-23). He agreed to waive his no-movement clause- giving Regier a list of teams he would consider going to.

According to The Buffalo News, Pominville said: “I don’t want to answer by yes or no, but what I can say is obviously Darcy has a job to do, and for him to be able to do that in my case and in guys that have these kinds of lists, for him to be able to listen, he needs to know.“

He has one year remaining on his contract and is set to earn $5.5 million in ’13-14. So, he’s not just a rental. If he is moved, it shouldn’t come cheap.
