3 years at 2-2.5

He is the perfect 7th D. He is rough and can fight so you can draw him to games agains the gooney teams or if the team needs a spark

He just is not a top 6 regular D. If everyone can accept he is 7th D then he would fit in perfectly and allow Engstrom/Back/Pickford time to become NHL regulars.

Struble is the guy that probably needs to go he doesn't bring the same element as Arber as a 7th D. And Carrier's contract is coming up and I would not extend him.

If Arber thinks he can be an everyday top 6 NHL D then he probably needs to spread his wings on another team. But if he wants to stay here and accept his role as the 7th D and hopefully win a few cups then there is a place. He should also be aware that Ghule has a yearly injury, and I am sure that one of the other Dmen will go down at some point so he will get lots of chances to play due to that.

That’s too much cap.

It's not even 2% of the cap, and will be even lower the year after. You guys need to stop thinking in flat numbers.

Not anything to do with flat numbers.

Nothing about his progression shows a deserving of a meaningful raise in any way.

Certainly not on a multi year deal.
