A position change that would allow him to worry less about the huge organizational depth of the Habs in defense.
Let's remember, of course, that Xhekaj was used as a forward a few years ago in the junior ranks.
In short, in a recent interview granted to TVA Sports network, General Manager Kent Hughes settled this matter for good.
This is a decision that had been taken with a certain Nicolas Deslauriers, but fortunately, we can forget about that with the Sheriff.
A good decision, in your opinion?
Xhekaj, 22 years old, 6 feet 4 inches and 240 pounds, has a solid production currently with the Rocket of Laval, after having collected 3 points in 17 games at the beginning of the season with the CH.
