Arber Xhekaj soon to be traded? His exact value is known and it's very surprising

When the Canadiens decided to send Arber Xhekaj to Laval, trade rumors multiplied, and there were significant doubts about his value.

However, it is now evident that his time with the Rocket is beneficial, and his valuable assets for an NHL team are becoming apparent.

The sheriff has a surprisingly high offensive sense, much more than anticipated. His wrist shot is excellent, and his physical stature is equally impressive. Mathias Brunet has written an article on the subject, stating that Xhekaj's value is very high.




Once matured, Xhekaj could become a complete defenseman, excelling on both ends of the ice and offering an impressive physical presence.

So, it's understood why the Canadiens sent him to Laval. It's not because he's on the market, although his value and the offers Kent Hughes might receive could be tempting.

Let's not forget that the Islanders paid a high price to acquire Alexander Romanov, allowing Hughes to acquire Kirby Dach. Xhekaj could be worth even more, which is significant.


Don't forget Lane Hutson and Adam Engstrom, who are likely coming at the end of their respective seasons. It's starting to get crowded for three or four positions.
