NHL News: Sabres sign Christian Ehrhoff

Happy Canada Day to our loyal Canadian fans!

Largely thanks to their deep-pocketed new owner, the Buffalo Sabres successfully got the jump on unrestricted free agency by signing defenseman Christian Ehrhoff, whose negotiating rights they acquired from the New York Islanders earlier this week.

Ehrhoff had an interesting few days as his rights were traded twice since Tuesday. The New York Islanders obtained his rights from Vancouver before Buffalo worked out a trade to get him from New York.

The Sabres signed the coveted defenseman to a 10-year, $40-million deal. (My Canucks friends are telling me Ehrhoff is really over-rated…Enjoy that one Buffalo)

Hurricanes re-sign Jussi Jokinen

The Carolina Hurricanes have retained Jussi Jokinen. They re-signed the Finnish forward yesterday on a three-year deal worth $3 million per season.

Jokinen, the shootout king, broke out for 30 goals and 65 points in 2009-10 before slipping to 19 goals and 52 points last season.
