Huge value on the trade market and new position for Xhekaj: this is what has just been proposed by Mathias Brunet
In his traditional column on BPM Sports, journalist Mathias Brunet made a suggestion that sparked reactions.
Try Arber Xhekaj on the wing.
It's true that with Kaiden Guhle, Mike Matheson, Logan Mailloux, Lane Hutson, David Reinbacher, Jayden Struble, William Trudeau, Adam Engstrom, Jordan Harris, Johnatan Kovacevic, Justin Barron, we'll soon be lacking space on defense.
However, is that really a reason to send Xhekaj to the offense?
"Brunet also mentioned something very interesting that caught my attention. Indeed, Montreal should test the defenseman on the wing. Not now, but eventually." - Via DLC
Host Martin Lemay was not a fan of this idea, and neither are we, to be honest.
See the exchange in question.
"You would be surprised at the phenomenal value of Xhekaj on the market (trade). I think we must keep Xhekaj in Montreal eventually at all costs.
Is it on defense, or maybe on the wing?
I would like us to try him eventually on offense, maybe not this year or next year, but eventually."

And see the host's response.
"Did you just say Xhekaj on the wing? Well no, we finally have a defender who is strong as a train, can't you..."

And Brunet explains his point by saying that Xhekaj is not very good defensively.
And you, do you like the idea?
