With his recent performances alongside David Savard, Arber Xhekaj has transformed into a different player, and it's hard to believe he could return to Laval or even leave the Canadiens' top 4.
However, it's a possibility, as early as this week. Don't worry; it would be just a formality. Joshua Roy could also be part of this.
So, don't be surprised if the official Twitter account of the Montreal Canadiens announces the assignment of these two players to the American Hockey League on Thursday. It's a normal procedure in preparation for the playoffs for the Rocket.
As for Joshua Roy, he might be sent there and potentially stay, considering Rafaël Harvey-Pinard will return to action in the coming days.
