Christian Ehrhoff Signs with Buffalo

Written by PuckMe    PDF Print E-mail

Defenceman Christian Ehrhoff has agreed to terms with the Buffalo Sabres, signing a 10-year deal worth $40 million. The contract includes a no movement clause; as well as a modified no trade clause.

The move comes a day before Ehrhoff was eligible to become a free agent and a day after the Sabres gambled that they could sign the seven-year veteran by acquiring his rights in a trade with the New York Islanders.

As you know, it's uncharacteristic for us to give up a fourth-round pick," general manager Darcy Regier said. "We just felt very strongly that if we could get to the player early that we would have the opportunity to sign him."

Ehrhoff will earn $18 million in the first two years of his contract and $4 million from years three to six. He'll collect $3 million in year seven and then $1 million in each of the remaining three years.

If Ehrhoff decides not to play the final three years of the contract, the deal is for seven years at $37 million, or an average of $5.4 million.

Ehrhoff is not worth that $$$$$ way to much $$$$$. This contract will end up just Campbell when Chicago sign him a year later they wanted to trade him but couldn't luckly they found someone in flordia to take him. players these days are getting to much $$$$$ anyway.
