Very alarming statement on Arber Xhekaj's future in Montreal and it would officially be over for Jayden Struble in Laval
During his most recent show, as reported by colleague Keven Mawn, former Montreal Canadien Georges Laraque made a very concerning statement about Arber Xhekaj.
Jayden Struble, who has taken over "the Sheriff's chair" with the Habs, is reportedly highly valued within the organization and has won his bet.
"Struble has played nine games with Rocket. No one saw coming that this guy would be that solid in the NHL. He's taken it up a notch, so he'll never go down again! He is solid in every appearance."

We love Xhekaj and are so eager to see him back, but if Struble is now immovable, who will he push out?

And Xhekaj is also a left-hander.
Adding to this is Lane Hutson, another left-hander, who will soon be joining the Habs' lineup, making us really wonder when Xhekaj will have his spot.
