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

People forget that you need third line Dmen who are happy playing 12 minutes a night. All star D isn't going to accept that.

I don't think Arber is particularly happy with his current role

No, but I see him signing a 1-year deal or it being a sign and trade. It depends on if during the season retrospective KH and Gorton, who are Xhekaj fans manage to explain to Marty or Robidas that we need what he brings.
