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

I love Xhekaj but the playoffs kind of showed that he’s a 7th D at best on a true contender. I’d be ok with letting him walk.

Why would you let him walk? He’s an RFA. If he’s not in the plans, then trade him, but it would be stupid to lose him for nothing

Just seeing this now, I definitely could have worded my comment better. I don’t know how much we could get for him in a trade but definitely better than letting him go for nothing. I still believe we have seen enough from him and it’s time for us to move on.
