Christian Ehrhoff: Retiring from professional hockey
Christian Ehrhoff will hang up his skates and call it a career, John Vogl of The Buffalo News reports.Ehrhoff logged 52 games for DEL Cologne this season, in which he tallied eight goals and 23 helpers. The highlight of the veteran's season came when he helped Germany win a silver medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics. In the NHL, the blueliner appeared in 789 games spread out across six organizations. The 35-year-old's contract buyout with the Sabres -- a $40 million, 10-year contract signed in 2011 -- will see him continue to get paid by the club through the 2027-28 season.

Christian Ehrhoff: Signs with German club
Christian Ehrhoff signed with Kolner Haie of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga on Monday.Ehrhoff was in camp on a professional tryout agreement with the Bruins, but after failing to secure a commitment for consistent play time, opted to walk away from the tryout. Instead the 34-year-old returns to the DHL where he began his career and last played during the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season. After bouncing around the NHL the last few years, it seems unlikely the veteran will be returning to North America to play hockey in the near future.

Christian Ehrhoff: Not planning to sign with Boston

Ehrhoff -- who showed well during the World Cup of Hockey -- could catch on elsewhere, however, after playing capably during his brief stint with Boston.

Bruins' Christian Ehrhoff: Inks PTO with Boston
Christian Ehrhoff inked a professional tryout agreement (PTO) with Boston on Friday, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.Ehrhoff had been an unrestricted free agent throughout the offseason but after a WCOH appearance for Team Europe, the Boston Bruins decided to give the 34-year-old a shot to make their roster. It seems likely that the defenseman's best years are behind him as he hasn't contributed more than 14 points since the 2013-14 campaign, but with 789 games of NHL experience under his belt, his hockey acumen alone could land him on a third or fourth pair on Boston's defense.

Blackhawks' Christian Ehrhoff: Dealt to Chicago
Christian Ehrhoff has been traded to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Rob Scuderi, Chris Hine of the Chicago Tribune reports.This is essentially a lateral swap of defenders who had been waived by their former clubs in 2015-16. Ehrhoff, who reportedly will cost the Blackhawks $1.25 million (after the Kings pay 15 percent of his salary) joins his fourth different club since 2013-14, having been a part of the Sabres, Penguins and Kings over that span. His tour with the Blackhawks might even be short lived as he'll become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Kings' Christian Ehrhoff: Cleares waivers Thursday
Christian Ehrhoff will be assigned to AHL Ontario after clearing waivers Thursday, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.Ehrhoff finds himself in an unfamiliar situation after being a highly sought-after acquisition just two seasons ago. However, an injury-plagued year in Pittsburgh as well as his poor form with the Los Angeles Kings -- a meager 10 points in 40 contests -- has led to the defenseman going unclaimed off the waiver wire. The 33-year-old has not suited up in the AHL since the 2004-05 campaign with the Cleveland Barons.

Kings' Christian Ehrhoff: Placed on waivers
Christian Ehrhoff was placed on waivers by the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.In a bit of a surprising move, the Kings have decided to take their chances with the other blueliners on the roster, and will likely lose Ehrhoff on waivers to another club. The veteran blueliner has 11 points through 40 contests this season, but posted a minus-10 rating and hasn't seen as much action of late. Still, many teams are in need of another defenseman, so expect another update when he's claimed, assuming that's the case.

Kings' Christian Ehrhoff: Tacks on two late helpers in blowout win
Christian Ehrhoff notched assists on the Los Angeles Kings' last two goals -- one of them on a power play -- in Tuesday's 9-2 beatdown of the Bruins.Things were well in hand already, but Ehrhoff knows these stats are going to end up on the back of his hockey card, and he's now finally cleared double-digit points for the season. This was actually his first multi-point game in 2015-16, as Ehrhoff generally plays very slim minutes -- just 12:33 in this one, not at all out of line with his recent usage -- and has often served as a healthy scratch recently. In fact, he'd sat out five of the Kings' last eight games.

Kings' Christian Ehrhoff: Earns assist Saturday
Christian Ehrhoff earned an assist Saturday, setting up the Los Angeles Kings' 3-2 comeback win against Chicago.Ehrhoff has struggled since moving to Los Angeles in the offseason. The defenseman missed four of his last 10 games and has seen his average ice time drop to 16:20, compared to 21:46 last season. In addition to a reduction in ice time, the 33-year-old has a plus-minus of minus-6, second worst on the team. Despite his struggles, however, Ehrhoff is tied with Drew Doughty for the lead on the Kings' blue line in power-play points.
