Report: Kings 'likely' to trade Ehrhoff to Blackhawks
The Los Angeles Kings are "likely" to trade defenseman Christian Ehrhoff to the Chicago Blackhawks, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.
Sounds like Christian Ehrhoff will be moving from LA to CHI. Not an official trade but likely to occur. #TSN #tradecentre

The trade may not become official until later Friday, but the pending transaction includes Ehrhoff and Blackhawks defenseman Rob Scuderi, McKenzie reports.
Ehrhoff has a cap hit of $550,000 while buried in the AHL after being placed on waivers and assigned to the Ontario Reign earlier this month.
The Blackhawks waived Scuderi and assigned him to the AHL's Rockford IceHogs last week. He has a cap hit of $1.3 million this season, and another $1.3 million in 2016-17.
Chicago reportedly had "serious interest" in Vancouver Canucks defenseman Dan Hamhuis on Thursday, but that "cooled considerably" one day later.
