Value of: Arber Xhekaj value in a trade

[CTHabsfan]

Why are there 22 pages on this dude. His value is practically a 5th or 6th rounder

Because there are people who insist on posting absurd stuff like "His value is practically a 5th or 6th rounder"?

Hughes didn't trade X for s mid-late 1st last year, he wont trade him for a 5-10 pick this year.

Value wise he's behind Guhle and Hutson but ahead of the rest. Hoping Mailman will surpass him too.

My dream is for X to become our Chara. He has the rarely used canon and the disposition to get there.

Hopefully Mailman develops into an offensive dynamo but i think in the long term it will be Guhle-Mailman...but nothing wrong with X-Mailman. Again, long term...3 years from now.

…did you just say they won’t trade wifi for pick #5?? And he has less value than Guhle. What’s Guhle’s value? A first overall pick??


sorry it’s late, time for me to log off.

I doubt Montreal would trade Wifi for 13th overall.

Wtf is going on in here?

If someone stupidly offers ANY 1st round pick, let alone number 13......you take it and run.

Not really, probably get slightly better player but 5 years away.

Could be part of a package as well

Bruh id pack his bag for a 13th overall.
He's a cool teammate , physical but hes a third pair d-man at best. Let's not get ahead of ourselves right now

Enormously polarizing player, overvalued by habsfans and undervalued by habs haters. I know many of you pride yourself on being GM's but if it's been reported by multiple sources that Hughes turned down 1st round picks for him, it's probably his value then. Sorry.
That being said, he'd probably go late in the 1st of a redraft and so why would the habs trade a kid with an interesting skillset in a league that still values toughness, intimidation, size and skill?
There's 0 trade where they get value for him and he brings something to the habs no one else does. There's a reason Hughes has turned down deals.
I also don''t think gorton wants to relive any kind of Tom Wilson-type drama which led to his firing in NY.
They want to keep him and develop him beyond being a nuclear deterrent.
Habs trade him and then they immediately return to try and find this type of player and the fanbase cries that CH is too small and soft.


There are other Dmen available for trade on the habs.

They certainly aren't f***ing trading him for a 3rd rounder.
Habs have 7 top 50 picks (as of today) this summer

Habs have 4 picks now in top 40. Probably looking to move some, not add more

Exact type of guy that would somehow get like a 2nd from a team like Boston or Buffalo or LA that panics that they're "too soft" and need a physical presence. The thing is that MTL themselves are like the epitome of this team so they'll never move him

David Pagnotta isn't that reliable of a source as he's usually wrong. Given how Hughes seems to leak things to various reporters that never materialize I think He just uses guys like him to stir the pot and boost interest.

totally fine if you think he's trustworthy though.

WTF?

Are you guys actually serious?

I trade him for a top 15 pick, after that it depends of the draft. In the 25+ range is what we would most likely be looking at. At that range you'd hope to get a similar talent.
