There's a reason why teams are making such offers for Xhekaj. Players like this don't grow on trees, sure he isn't a Norris contender but his physical presence is essential for a team like Montreal, it's what other teams are seeking. This player is the kind of guy you want in the playoffs for a deep run.
A late 1st round only has a 40% chance of making the show. Wifi is here now and will be for a while, he is AWESOME and only getting better. You say that MTL are insaine for not making this trade. Shake your head, bro. When everyone wants your guy...he obviously holds a lot of value. Rember the Lecalvier story in Tampa. He is very good and gonna be great...(and) at that price??? Everyone else is shopping at Lablaws paying $100 for a steak. The Habs are at Walmart paying $30 for the same steak. Wifi wants to eat that Walmart $30 steak. He wants to be a Hab. Bless you Sheriff!!! Do you not think that Xhekaj could be a beast on a Stanley Cup contender??? Do not be blind, we need him. Marty is just showing tough LOVE. Habs Forever!
I think Philly is a good guess. His name has been thrown around with Philly being interested and we had a late 1rst rounder last draft that we eventfully swapped for Edmonton's first in this 2025 draft.
Pretty simple to me. XHEKAJ is valuable. First off if it was me he would be on the pp. forget his toughness for a min. He has a cannon for a shot. pair he with lane hudson on the pp. hudson feeds him the puck. other players goal for rebounds. he will strike fear in the goalies he faces. 7 goals his first year.
Late first round picks aren’t as valuable as people make it out to be. If I’m trading Xhekaj it’s for someone of similar age who helps us now not a likely middle 6 or middle pairing guy who is having an impact in 3-5 years. That’s if you even get an nhler with the pick.

If we got a top 15 first round pick for Romanov, i think Xhekaj is more valuable than Romanov.
Philly offered a 1 last yr for Xhekaj and if looking at his situation this is why they are so hard on him because they believe in him
As soon as a player takes a spot in the roster he becomes as valuable as at least a 1-2 round pick, wherever he comes from.
Wouldn't trade him or his brother for a 1st either. When these guys hit , you will need these tough fuckers to win.

3rd D-pair guy who got scratched three times this year for a 1st round pick.
Sure
Clearly not a serious offer for Arber so it's a non story ...
A late first round draft pick who if makes it to the NHL 3 or 4 years. No thanks. Arber brings what the Habs need more of.
Oh yeah, and I bet that 1st round pick for Xhekaj may have come from The Oil or (and my mouth is full of vomit to say the words) the Maple Craps.
Bye Matheson instead
