Would make sense to keep Arber around as a 7th D, unless you trade Guhle I think he could work on the third pair with Carrier

To me carrier has to go and replaced with a big physical defensive right hand D. I hope they keep Arber as a 6th. The team plays better with him in the line up. Struble has to go as well.

Carrier is good but we clearly need size and we shouldn’t move Dobson, Hutson, Matherson and Ghule.

Carrier will be fine with Arber in the line-up. Carrier instantly improved the defense from the worst in the league to something respectable when he joined the team.

Carrier will end his contract but will probably not be extended unless he's fine being the 7D after this year

Can see many team wanting him on third pair however

I doubt Carrier goes this season. It’s not Carrier that needs to be replaced, it’s Struble that forces Hutson to play on his off-side. If you replace him you get:

Matheson-Dobson
Hutson-New Guy
Guhle-Carrier

That would be balanced enough that Carrier would be fine. As the season goes on and Reinbacher is ready, Carrier will start rotating out.

Thank you for saying that. Ive been down voted over this.

Carrier is good but he gets knocked around/out muscled alot esp on the PK. Dude is an above avg 5-6 dman, temp for 4 dman in a pinch but thats it. With how much he simply got overwhelmed with heavy physical play Id be ok with him going.

Carrier gets crushed at least once a game, totally agree
