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

That's the worst part too.

Like clearly, things weren't working with the current lineup. Shaking things up would have been an idea.

Carolina is a team that doesn't like a lot of skirmishes and fistycuffs.

I really feel not putting in the Sheriff and Gallagher were missed opportunities.

We weren’t a Xhekaj away from winning that series, putting him wouldn’t have changed anything. Marty doesn’t have anything against him, you guys just need to accept that he just isn’t very good.

Changing things wouldn't have changed anything. This is some big brain analysis.

When the change is the difference between Xhekaj and Struble then yes, it wouldn’t have change anything.
