Sign UFA Christian Ehrhoff back to VAN

Recommended Posts

Buffalo has just bought out offensive Dman, Christian Ehrhoff. We all know that Christian Ehrhoff played his best hockey with the Vancouver Canucks. Since the Canuck is really in need of an offensive defenseman and a powerplay specialist, this would be a fantastic signing for us. Erhoff cooperated greatly with the sedins during his time here. Bottom line is, we need offensive defencemen on this team. Apart from Edler, right now we have NONE. Erhoff's homecoming would be most welcomed. What do you guys think? Spread the word!!!! Cheers!!!

I'd welcome him back if he'd take a reasonable contract. I'm not sour about how he left, if someone offered me a crazy contract like Buffalo did I'd take it too. Henrik, Danny, and Eddie were at their peak when Hoff was player rover. He'd boost our powerplay.

If he just wants another payday, good luck to him elsewhere.

Before, I would've loved to get him back, but we already have 8 quality dmen.

Edler Hamhuis

Tanev Sbisa

Bieksa Weber

Corrado Stanton

I don't really care that he left, defense is the least of our concerns. The forward group might be one of the worst in the NHL w/ our 2 top 6 forwards being in their mid 30's. We can't win the cup, we might as well do what Buffalo is trying to do and take a run at McDavid or Eichel.

I hope he goes to a team like Detroit so it intrigues Edler to want to be moved. Hopefully he doesn't say it in public and ruin the rate of return like some douche who wears #17 did.

Offensive guys with defensive responsibility like Ehrhoff are hard to come by. A team needs a balance of defensive dmen and offensive dmen. We can always just sign him for 2-3 years. 4 is the maximum i would go for. By signing him, yes we are getting a little older, but we need to address the lack of scoring from the blue line problem.
