[Signing] Ehrhoff to Kings

[JagrBomb]

If this is already out there, I apologize. Haven't been on Twitter. In any case, LAK and Christian Ehrhoff have agreed to terms on 1-yr deal

bmack

1.5M/1 year

[Daydream Nation]

Not good for Muzzin owners.

Good for the Kings, Voynov lost hurted them alot on the #3 D spot. Now with Ehrhoff Green will down grade. Solide top4 squad: Doughty-Muzzin-Ehroff-Martinez


The Pens denfense looks like an AHL team

[CaptainCally]

I'm just speculating, maybe LA already knows what we don't, Voynov can't come back to the NHL?

(I don't think Ehrhoff's arrival hurts Muzzin's value)

[Axeman33]

Good, cheap signing for the Kings. Hard to believe he couldn't get more from others.

I'd agree, this signing most likely signals Voynov's time being over (and good riddance). CE on a 1.5M deal is great value, don't see any fantasy relevance for him anymore but if he stays healthy it's a great real-life signing for LA - especially having moved out Miller.

dont see this affecting muzzin at all.

ehrhoff still wants one more big pay day, so he's signing with the team that he thinks will give him the best chance of doing that next year. it wouldnt surprise me if another team offered him more.

[Fast Tony DeNiro]

Great signing for LA. Even if Ehrhoff might not be a great fantasy option at this point, there's still plenty of real life value.

Ehrhoff for $1.5m is absurdly good value for the Kings. I can't believe the Penguins weren't interested in retaining his services for less than 2m. He would really help them right now.

[RizzeeDizzee]

Muzzin will be fine. This is the Kings grabbing someone because the price was right and maybe they hit lightning in a bottle. At worst, they keep him off another team and add veteran depth for the Spring when injuries tend to mount. Even if - and it's a big if - Ehrhoff plays 75 games, he won't get more than 30 points.

Some astute observations in this thread.

Here's the fantasy take:

Time will tell. I don't think it's good news that a former 50 pt dman who is considered a power play specialist is on the depth chart behind Muzzin. It's good for LA but as a Muzzin owner I am not happy about the signing. But I hope all of you are right.

I wouldnt be surprised if Ehrhoff ends up being the 6th best dman on LA this year.

he only got 14 points on the pens...granted he was injured but still was only on a 23 point pace. doughty and muzzin will be unaffected. he'll probably help martinez a bit, the only ones i see this as a negative for is the fringe guys like mcbain, maybe mcnabb too since he probably loses pp time

[ericdaoust]

Ehrhoff is very much a secondary contributor at this point in his career. His contract should solidify that.
