Arber Xhekaj had a rollercoaster season, mixing injuries, disappointment from being sent down to Laval, achievements upon his return to Montreal, and another injury.
Among the key figures who were there for him, Laval Rocket assistant coach Kelly Buchberger played a significant role. There were talks that he could join Martin St-Louis' team and the Canadiens because of how appreciated he was, but that won't happen.
It's a significant loss for the organization, but if he made this decision, it's certainly for his own good.
We wish him the best of luck, and who knows, perhaps he'll return to the Canadiens organization in the future!
