If Xhekaj is traded from from the Montreal Canadiens, I will burn my Habs pajamas and become a Leafs fan . . . . . . well OK, I won't go that far, but SERIOUSLY Kent, please let us keep our new toy!
Keep him so hard
To trade him would be the worst move no matter what they got. If you want to attract star players they would surely feel better about playing with a guy like xhekaj watching their back then a Justin barron. Don't screw this up mr clean🍻
Lock him up 8 years !!!
Hughes won't trade Xhekaj unless they get McDavid, Bedard quality…won't happen. The trade rumors are nothing but incoming phones calls and Hughes laughing at them. An enforcer that can play, when on the ice team shots for, high danger scoring chances for, expected goals for, his numbers are better than most of the other D (although he doesn't play top minutes against top lines, yet). Gets the puck through to the net, can move the puck/clear zone, stretch pass, defending improving, skating for a big guy, physicality, can rip the puck, size…all the things you don't see by how many goals and assists he gets. His best is yet to come. Trading him would be dumb. For the right price, I'd trade Guhle before him, injury prone including concussions, gets himself in awkward positions getting himself injured, more giveaways than I'd like to see, will demand a high price at that. Should they trade Guhle? I lean towards no and gamble it injury-wise and he's not at his peak yet either but for the right high price Guhle before Xhekaj. He's their #1 LD keeper. Plus, trade rumors/mock trades involving Mailloux and Reinbacher are nonsense also…unless they plan on drafting another RD and cause another shitstorm. Not likely, the best RD in this draft will be gone by 5th and Reinbacher is a better prospect than the others.
Plus, Xhekaj and Kovacevic are the only two D (Mailloux in his one game excluded) to finish the season in the +'s…on a team with most players in the -'s. Kovacevic was scratched in games, IMO, to showcase Struble and Harris as much as possible.
if they trade Xhekaj, im done… if handled properly he has all the tools to become an absolute monster, DO IT RIGHT HABS
If we trade him i'll genuinely cry.
they trade him and I will go buy a Leafs jersey …..not kidding …because that would be anything stupider than any NHL team would ever think of…if they did …Question ?? would you want to go up against him being healthy and coming at your players ??? not me
Guhle Matheson Hutson Reinbacher Xhekaj Mailloux
Have you watched playoffs hockey… The habs can`t afford to trade Wifi, they aren`t even tough enough for post season yet.
I look at Xhekaj as being that "respect through toughness" player that will be the backbone for respect for this team. Add his brother and it could really be something. Both have a lot of potential. Hope they sign him for a 3-5 year deal at 3.5 to 4 per year. (haven't been keeping up on current contract $$ but this seems reasonable to me.) GHG
4 years 5-6 seed average. maybe $3.75
I bin allin on Xhekaj since the invite to camp, I'm with you all the way!! Here's the thing on the trade rumours, if you it takes 2 picks to replace 1 guy, how far ahead are you? Collloary – Can a player like Xhekaj be replaced with 1 pick?
Only for Mcdavid AND Leon, not less
He is in the 5-7 depth and a 4 year deal @ 3..75
If he's traded, they'll regret it, unless they have a one-one replacement. And then they'll still regret it.
i feel like the habs should trade him to colorado for half a Gatorade and a bag of pucks.
but wait, act now and they can even get a free val nichushkin!
If the Habs trade this guy I don't give a f–k who they get they'll regret it for years.
We need this guy, would the Canadiens have traded Robinson, ? No
He stays. End of story. And to all those teams that want him, looks elsewhere. Also, RIP Leafs fans. hahaha
Keep jackeye in mtl you cant get rid of a guy like this its been 20+ years since a guy like that at his age got in the league and dont yall dare talk about rempe he doesnt have it like arber hes just a giraffe
We just signed his brother
Still on the formula 🤣
Xhekaj is here to stay, even his brother eventually. He's not like Tanner Pearson, who will just be passing thru, Arber is proud to be on the Canadiens, you see it at 3:25 after a fight he proudly pounds the Habs logo on his chest!
still on the formula lmao
I keep raving about this kid, love him, this is what the Canadians desperately need and I’m a bruins guy! He would look fantastic in a bruins jersey
