It's worth asking the question. Since being sent to Laval by the Canadiens, Arber Xhekaj is often paired with Logan Mailloux, and the two complement each other remarkably well.
Arber is producing at an impressive rate with 10 points in 13 games, and Mailloux has reached 20 in 32. The production of the right-hander kicked in when he was paired with Xhekaj, and the team's victories followed suit.
We don't know if it was the team's initial plan or a fortunate coincidence, but one thing is certain: both are part of the club's future plans, and they will be difficult to separate.
Who knows, maybe the organization will try the same strategy with two new young players next year in Laval, namely Lane Hutson and David Reinbacher.
