Player Discussion Arber Xhekaj: The Sheriff

You think they do it cause they're Facebook friends? Lol

There's tons of examples of people who hire people they know and have success.

Yes, and is this one an example of that?

Yes, and is this one an example of that?

not currently, no obviously, but this was never going to be an over night success.

You're a smart guy, pretty sure you knew that coming into this season.

Habs have longed for a player like this and he obviously needs more time to develop but the coaches and alot of fans are clearly not in his corner. We deserve to lose him.

Send to Laval and away from this coach

Just because fans are not as rabid about him sitting out doesn't mean they are not in his corner.

I do and it's such a low bar. Why do you lower the bar ? The Habs have some of the most money in sports. 500 billion investment that quadrupled in what, 15 years ? Deep, deep pockets.

Theres money to hire the absolute best coaches, best managers, best scouts, best everything. Yet were fine with a crazy fox hole with people that hire old friends because what, they're super competent ? Or because theyre throwing their friends a bone ?

Appeal to tradition at best.

Lowering the bar is insisting coaches and GMs speak the language, limiting yourself to 5% of the pool so to speak. Most advocate for that.
