However, by signing a 10-year, $40 million contract (heavily front-loaded, admittedly) Ehrhoff is seemingly willing to embrace the pressure of being the Sabres' franchise defenseman for years to come. And there's no reason the 29-year-old can't continue to blossom. We anticipate Ehrhoff will better his career-high output of 50 points, including a heavy percentage of power-play assists. It helps that new Sabres owner Terry Pegula is willing to (over)spend to amass the talent needed to go all the way. With more forward options to experiment with, Buffalo's top power-play unit will be a mighty dangerous one. An assembly of which Ehrhoff will be a part.
