The Buffalo Sabres have signed former Vancouver Canucks defenseman Christian Ehrhoff. Ehrhoff, a 29 year old, has played with the San Jose Sharks and Canucks during his 7 year NHL career.
The Sabres traded a fourth-round pick in the 2012 draft to the New York Islanders for Ehrhoff’s rights.
Ehrhoff, 6’0 and 200lbs, registered a +55 rating over the past two seasons in Vancouver with 28 goals and 94 points. He’s also tallied 34 points in 73 post-season games.
The Ehrhoff signing comes on the heels of the Sabres signing Nathan Gerbe to a 3 year contract extension and signing Robyn Regehr, an 11 year veteran defenseman.
