Description: Buffalo defenseman Christian Ehrhoff missed Tuesday's game with an undisclosed injury. | Insight: Ehrhoff led Buffalo defensemen in scoring with 32 points last season, and has five points in the team's first nine games, so he does have fantasy value when he is on the ice. | | |

Description: According to Sabres coach Lindy Ruff, Christian Ehrhoff will "miss some time ... probably weeks" after Ehrhoff left the game following a first-period fight.
TSN | Insight: Ruff did not disclose the type of injury that his defenseman suffered. Ehrhoff, who signed a ten-year free agent contract in the offseason, has not been a star for fantasy teams (17 points and a -11 in 36 games). Move him to your bench. | | |

Description: Christian Ehrhoff has agreed to terms with the Buffalo Sabres on a contract that is believed to be around ten years for $40 million.
TSN | Insight: The German defenseman's negotiation rights were acquired by the Sabres the day before from the Islanders, who had themselves acquired Ehrhoff's rights from the Canucks. Ehrhoff should succeed in the Sabres' system, since they are in need of a puck-moving defenseman. Expect the Sabres to be busy in the free agent market starting July 1, as the team is now under newer, wealthier ownership. | | |

Description: The New York Islanders have traded the rights to Christian Ehrhoff to the Buffalo Sabres for a fourth-round pick in the 2012 draft.
Newsday | Insight: Ehrhoff was an Islander for around 24 hours, as he was not surprisingly unable to come to terms with the team. The Sabres, who have more money to spend this summer because of new ownership, will now attempt to sign the potential UFA defenseman. | | |

Description: The Vancouver Canucks have traded the negotiation rights of Christian Ehrhoff to the New York Islanders for a fourth-round pick in the 2012 draft.
TSN | Insight: The Islanders will now have until Friday morning to sign Ehrhoff, who will be looking for at least $5 million on the open market. If the Islanders hope to have any chance at signing Ehrhoff, he cannot hold the Isles' organization in the same regard that Evgeni Nabokov does. | | |
| 6/28/2011 2:25:00 PM |
Description: According to Bob McKenzie of TSN, Christian Ehrhoff will likely be a free agent on July 1.
TSN | Insight: The Canucks offered Ehrhoff similar money to what Kevin Bieksa received, but it appears Ehrhoff's asking price is at least $5 million per season. The Canucks already have significant investments in Bieksa, Dan Hamhuis, and Keith Ballard, so it is unlikely that they will go too much higher with Ehrhoff. In fact, McKenzie believes that the Canucks may currently be shopping Ehrhoff's negotiation rights. | | |

Description: Kevin Bieksa, Christian Ehrhoff, and Sami Salo all hinted that they would be willing to stay with the Canucks for less money.
Globe & Mail | Insight: Bieksa stated flat out that he would take less money, Salo said that money isn't an issue, while Ehrhoff seemed to hint at it. The Canucks will have a real challenge on their hands in signing all three free agent UFA defensemen before they hit the open market on July 1. | | |

Description: Christian Ehrhoff and Aaron Rome are both expected to be ready for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday.

Description: Christian Ehrhoff won't likely play in Game 5 against San Jose on Tuesday because of a stinger.
Vancouver Province | Insight: The tandem of Keith Ballard and Chris Tanev will be back in after a solid Game 4, so the Canucks won't need to rush Ehrhoff back. Ehrhoff's injury doesn't seem to be significant, although he has only been skating on his own and not practicing with the team. | | |
| 5/21/2011 1:50:00 AM |
Description: Christian Ehrhoff and Aaron Rome are expected to miss Game 4 against San Jose after leaving Game 3 with injuries.
Vancouver Province | Insight: Both Ehrhoff and Rome were hit by Jamie McGinn, although the hit on Rome resulted in a five-minute major and a game misconduct. It wasn't a memorable game for Ehrhoff, who drew a double minor for high-sticking Torrey Mitchell in the first period. Game 4 is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, which wouldn't give either player much recovery time. Expect Keith Ballard and Andrew Alberts to be in the Canucks' lineup as replacements. | | |
