We've just received a big statement involving Arber Xhekaj and the Montreal Canadiens.

On BPM Sports just minutes ago, host Georges Laraque mentioned that he believes Arber Xhekaj's days with the Montreal Canadiens are numbered.

A trade to watch with the Canadiens, involving Arber Xhekaj?

He goes even further, outright stating that Kent Hughes will eventually trade Xhekaj. Wow.

«There are teams interested in his services, and if they get him, he won't be coming out of the lineup like he does in Montreal. Xhekaj knows this, and so does his agent The Canadiens will eventually trade Arber Xhekaj.»

Check out the post in question.

And the full segment can be found right here.

Arber Xhekaj's days in Montreal are numbered, believes Georges Laraque!

I get the impression that exactly what happened last year, when the Sheriff was sent down to Laval, is happening again.

Do you think this time it's for real?

Do you believe that Xhekaj will actually be traded by the Montreal Canadiens?

Georges Laraque truly seems to think it will eventually happen for the 6-foot-4, 240-pound young defenseman.

Xhekaj, 23 years old, has collected 0 points in 5 games this season, with a plus/minus of -4 and two penalty minutes.

Let's also note that Xhekaj will once again be benched by Martin St-Louis tonight, and the Sheriff clearly showed his frustration yesterday morning.

Needless to say, his impact on the ice goes well beyond stats and numbers, especially in terms of protecting the Canadiens' top players and earning respect on the ice.

A situation to watch!
