Arber Xhekaj traded by the Montreal Canadiens for a first-round pick? It has just been confirmed that Kent Hughes would have this price
Since his demotion to the American Hockey League, it's frightening, but Arber Xhekaj's name keeps coming up in certain trade rumors.
Especially very recently on BPM Sports, journalist Mathias Brunet made this statement.
"A first-round pick, the Canadiens could get one with their eyes closed for Xhekaj. And that, I confirm it, quote me!" - Mathias Brunet
Wow, that's big. He thus confirms that Kent Hughes could receive a first-round pick for Arber Xhekaj.
Would we do it? Absolutely not, but it's interesting to know that it's a possibility and it proves that we're not the only ones who like Xhekaj and give him high value.
See the excerpt in question:
And you, would you do it?
In any case, Mathias seems very sure of himself. Xhekaj would be worth a first-round pick on the trade market.
Xhekaj, 22 years old, is a 6-foot-4, 240-pound defenseman who has amassed 16 points and 148 penalty minutes in his NHL career already (in 68 games).
He has a differential of +1 this season.
