Troubling News Could Be Coming for Arber Xhekaj Ahead of Canadiens Season Start
Since acquiring Noah Dobson, the Montreal Canadiens find themselves with a surplus of defensemen, and the team will have to make a tough decision regarding Arber Xhekaj.
Looking at the Canadiens' lineup, there are eight defensemen who could start in the opening lineup.
It's known that Lane Hutson, Noah Dobson, Kaiden Guhle, Alexandre Carrier, and Mike Matheson have their spots secured.
Martin St-Louis will face a difficult decision for the 6th defenseman spot among Jayden Struble, Arber Xhekaj, and David Reinbacher.
However, one defenseman is likely to receive bad news at the start of the season.
Is this the end for Arber Xhekaj with the Montreal Canadiens?
According to an excellent article from the site DansLesCoulisses David Reinbacher Could Play with Lane Hutson right now. Lane Hutson could be paired with David Reinbacher.
In yesterday's Sick Podcast with Tony Marinaro and Pierre McGuire, the host said this regarding the discussion about Lane Hutson's defensive partner for this year.
"I talked to a few people who think Reinbacher can be the man for the job right now."

If that's the case, the Canadiens will have a surplus of Struble and Xhekaj.
However, if the Canadiens suffer injuries, they will have a lot of depth to cope with the situation.
Finally, the season's start is approaching quickly, and it will be interesting to see the management's decisions.
