Ehrhoff Likely to Head Home During Lockout



Buffalo, NY (WBEN) ESPN's Pierre LeBrun is quoting an agent who says Sabre Christian Ehrhoff could be playing hockey in his hometown in Germany.

LeBrun's report says Ehrhoff will play for Krefeld in the German League during the lockout.

The lockout is in its second day, and reports are there no plans for talks between the NHL or the league players association today.

Neither side expects formal negotiations to begin until at least Wednesday, after the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah.

The NHL locked the players out at midnight Saturday when the old labour agreement expired. It's the NHL's fourth work stoppage in the last 20 years.

NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr are expected to speak informally tomorrow to figure out the next steps in the negotiating process.

The two sides haven't met for face-to-face talks since last Wednesday, when the NHL countered a union proposal with a time-sensitive offer of its own.

The parties did not meet again after and the league's offer, along with the old collective bargaining agreement, expired Saturday at midnight.
