It's no longer a secret, Arber Xhekaj has been assigned to the Laval Rocket earlier today. An announcement that surprises many but makes sense to some.

What's unfortunate is that when looking at the defensive prospects for the Canadiens, it becomes evident that Kent Hughes will have decisions to make regarding his sheriff.

Jean-Charles Lajoie has proposed something interesting to address this while keeping his services. What if Xhekaj were moved to the wing?

"Will Arber Xhekaj have to be moved to the attack to continue playing with the Montreal Canadiens despite the congestion on the blue line?

'Xhekaj in Laval? I say, up front!' declared Jean-Charles Lajoie on Monday during the JiC show."

We know that Xhekaj has some offensive talent and could make an impact in that role.

Do you agree with this proposition?
