BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Buffalo Sabres have had what's they've termed "positive" talks with defenceman Christian Ehrhoff, who has less than a day to determine whether to sign with the team before he's eligible to become a free agent.
General manager Darcy Regier says he contacted Ehrhoff in his native Germany on Thursday morning, a day after the Sabres acquired the player's rights in a trade with the New York Islanders. Regier says Ehrhoff is now in the midst of contacting other NHL players — including current and former Sabres — to learn more about Buffalo and the team to help make his decision.
Regier expects to hear back from the player later in the day.
