It's no secret, but many fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs have long dreamt of having him on their team, and with Arber's demotion to the AHL, some believe it more than ever.
Given Montreal's surplus of young defenders, including Kaiden Guhle, Justin Barron, Jordan Harris, Jayden Struble, Mattias Norlinder, Arber Xhekaj, and potentially Logan Mailloux, Lane Hutson, William Trudeau, and David Reinbacher, they believe it's possible.
Mark Giordano (injured for an indefinite period), John Klingberg (likely out for the season), and Timothy Liljegren are all missing.
It's understandable, because Xhekaj would be perfect for them, but they can forget it! Kent Hughes will very likely not trade Xhekaj, and he will never trade him to Toronto! This needs to stop.
