The Los Angeles Kings made a roster move on Sunday afternoon, as they added Christian Ehroff to the team’s defense.
Christian Ehroff joins the Kings after playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins last season.
Bleacher Report breaks it down for us like this:
“Partly, it’s because Ehrhoff fits with the kind of game that Darryl Sutter coaches. The Kings are known for physical, defensive hockey, but as their coach explained when the team acquired Marian Gaborik, that’s not the secret to their success. Via the Edmonton Journal’s Jim Matheson:
The game’s changed. They think there’s defending in today’s game. Nah, it’s how much you have the puck. Teams that play around in their own zone they they’re defending but they’re generally getting scored on or taking face-offs and they need a goalie to stand on his head if that’s the way they play.
Ehrhoff is cheap, signed short-term and plays the puck-possession style that Sutter emphasizes. More importantly, though, he’s quite good, and he’ll help stabilize a defence corps that is facing some uncertainty.”
What do you think Kings fans? Is this a good move? How will this change the team?
