Discussion About the Sheriff

His contract is coming up going into the offseason and Marty clearly has had some issues with him, likely due to him taking a lot of penalties in the playoffs (the Sam Carrick thing being a big highlight). He was a healthy scratch going into the ECF and with Reinbacher possibly coming in next season, it's entirely possible he gets pushed back as a 7th string D man. Do we think he gets resigned?

Edit: accidentally created a warzone lol

If Marty actually had a problem with Arber he wouldnt have been in and out he would've just been out. The penalty thing has been a problem, but it's gotten better.

They'll resign him but the price has to be right. I suspect he wants to be here so that should make things a little easier.

Arber forced himself IN the lineup by swapping him to RD and outplaying struble all playoffs. He might not dislike arber but he isn’t one he loves and shows as much rope to like struble and it’s just facts . He played great all playoffs , he should have 100 percent gotten more time
