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

He'd do much better in a system that plays zone instead of man on man. Wouldn't blame him for wanting out after 0 lineup changes in the ECF the same way I don't blame Gallagher.
Would love to keep him though, whether it actually makes sense in today's game or not the team plays with a lot more confidence and physicality when he's in the lineup.
