Christian Ehrhoff - nice work if you can get it

[\GoBillsInDallas/]

Ehrhoff will be paid $857,143 every season until 2028 by the Buffalo Sabres, as part of the Sabres' compliance buyout on Ehrhoff a season ago.

And Yashin's cap hit finally is off the Gorton Fishermen's books this season. At least Ehrhoff doesn't count against the cap.

Yikes.

 

Nice little retirement nest egg annuity there.

Darcy with TP's money was like a monkey with a bazooka.  Ehrhoff's bank account caught the rocket, thankfully.

I'd sign him again on a 3 year deal.

a top 4 LHD who can back up the powerplay for 3 years should be he his type of player.  But the bridge probably is already burned with the buyout.

While I can understand a player getting butt hurt about being bought out, if my former employer tells me they are willing to pay me twice to come work for them, I might have a listen.

I think Pegula is enough of a businessman to separate those two issues. The buyout is being paid no matter who the Sabres employ going forward and is a set expense.  It has nothing to do with employment of a defenseman going forward, and if it turns out to be Ehrhoff, so be it- he'll want the best player for the best incremental cost.
