Shocking Possibility Raised About Arber Xhekaj's Future With the Canadiens
Since joining the Montreal Canadiens, the rugged defenseman Arber Xhekaj has quickly become one of the team's most popular players.
Now a very interesting proposal has recently been raised involving him.
With the season approaching, we know that the Montreal Canadiens have a surplus of defensemen on the roster.
Both players would be the 7th and 8th defensemen, and the organization will likely only want to keep one of them with the team.
However, a proposal involving Arber Xhekaj and his brother has been put forward for the upcoming season.
A Line With the Xhekaj Brothers?
Brought up on The Sick Podcast with Tony Marinaro, Arber Xhekaj could potentially find himself playing on a forward line for the Canadiens.
"I would seriously consider the idea of playing Arber Xhekaj on the wing in the NHL."

The idea of seeing him on the same line as his brother just won't go away.
If that scenario were to happen, Florian Xhekaj could definitely end up playing on the same line.
That said, Arber would have to agree to change positions-something that isn't always easy.
Switching roles is never simple, especially when you're used to playing defense.
We know the Canadiens have a surplus of defensemen, and this could help resolve that issue.
Additionally, the Canadiens were criticized for a lack of physicality during last season's playoffs, and this solution could help address that concern.
In the end, it would be surprising if Martin St. Louis made that decision-but he will certainly consider it.
