No; it doesn't say that at all. You only wish it does.

"There must be something seriously wrong with your eyes, or your brain"

Uh, no; it's your brain. You said,

"According to this paragraph, there is no problem at all. .."

Scientists are watching extent in this area because it will help them understand how a slower Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) may affect Arctic sea ice. “Some studies suggest that decreased heat flux of warm Atlantic waters could lead to a recovery of all Arctic sea ice in the near future,” said NSIDC senior research scientist Julienne Stroeve. “I think it will have more of a winter impact and could lead to a temporary recovery of winter ice extent in the Barents and Kara seas.”

This clearly does not say, "there is no problem". In fact, she said there could be ( a vague term in science, meaning there could also not be) a temporary, meaning of short duration, recovery in parts of the Arctic Ocean. Well, yeah; there always are up years; look at all the "recoveries" on these graphs. However, the trend remains down, and, right now, we are over 2 standard deviations below the record low year, at the beginning of the traditional melt season.

Why does ice cover up there matter?

I know; you don't even have time to teach yourself. I always suspected that, so I made other arrangements for myself.
