Veteran defenseman Christian Ehrhoff has made a very curious decision.

According to multiple reports Ehrhoff was offered a contract with the Boston Bruins following his proffesional tryout with the organization during training camp, but those reports also suggest Ehrhoff rejected the offer, a move that now seems confusing.

According to reports out of Europe Ehrhoff has finally agreed to a new deal, but it will not be in the National Hockey League, with the defenseman instead opting instead to sign in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga.

It's believed Ehrhoff was looking for a larger role than the Bruins were prepared to offer, and that would appear to be the only plausible explanation for him opting not to sing in the NHL, although that remains mere speculation at this time.
