As you already know, Arber Xhekaj has been sent down to the Laval Rocket, and it's not sitting well with everyone. Fans adore him for his passion and ability to protect his teammates, but he remains, above all, a young player in need of development.
The coach compares the situation to that of Justin Barron, who made a few back-and-forths before sticking with the Canadiens. He also mentions that Jayden Struble's performance has absolutely nothing to do with this decision.
