Player Discussion Arber Xhekaj: The Sheriff

[Runner77]

I'm on board with trading Eddy but I don't see that happening. It's getting annoying how much time he's missing and we would get a great haul for him, especially at 50% retention.

I’m wondering if the market for him might have changed on account of his injuries.

I don’t even know if what took him out this year is linked to injuries suffered last season.

It might have changed, but I don't think many teams can offer a guy like Eddy at such a cheap cap hit. The only issue is that management clearly sees him as a good role model for the team and the defense is already very young making a trade unlikely.

I didn’t realize it in real time because I was pumped he scored, but after re-watching Slaf’s first goal, Xhekaj helps cause it and sends a message at the same time.

After Slaf took the high hit from Josh Brown, Xhekaj skates in from the point and pastes Brown into the boards, effectively taking him out of the play. Slaf stays at the blueline, steals the pass and with time and space rifles his first (of hopefully many more to come). After the goal Slaf is píssed and has words for Brown, while Xhekaj also comes in from the point, yelling at Brown while pointing at Slaf and tells him to go physically have relations with himself.




Great stuff. I don’t see how they could ever send him down, he gives this team a swagger they didn’t have before.

Love it, but he's lucky Slaf got the puck, it could have been costly.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Even Xhekaj, which i love, got his first goal before Wright ah ah.

Slaf did cover for Xhekaj's pinch.

I know it's too early, but Arber's style reminds me of Chris Pronger, future will tell, if i'm right, still think Arber should play on the PP, Wideman is useless, at least Arber has a good shot and he shoots on the net.

 

[Garbageyuk]

What’s next? You don’t like how hard he shoots a puck?

I don’t like how big and strong he is. He is also too mean.

Well, perhaps I can direct you to a badminton tournament.

Too dangerous. I got hit in the eye playing badminton once.

Not too many people enjoy taking a cock to the eye.

Sounds like a real donnybrook.

His goal celebration? Reeks of team first. Fantastic, seriously!

Arber stays, he gives something the others can't offer and more, let the others go to Laval, and also the fans loves him.

He’s learning too

 

[Adriatic]

I know we're not there yet, but man it will be tough to send him down if he continues to play like this.

 

[cphabs]

I’ve been hoping for a 6’3 version of Odelein for some time… Fantastic!

 

[cphabs]

Well, perhaps I can direct you to a badminton tournament.

Post of the year! Bravo sir!

Send Harris down. Xhekaj is more valuable.

Why do either of them have to be sent down?
