Ah some don't know the difference between demoted and a conditioning stint.
ONE FAN SAID IT .Like you both are in the minority.

Some have difficulty reading an entire sentence, never mind using picks as a metric.
As for a trade...someone like Laffy if he stayed at the 30 point range. Laffy value to me was mid 1st and down to bottom 1st or high 2nd if he stayed at the 30 point range.
X value is a low/mid 2nd. Maybe not a straight up swap but closer to asset for asset plus a sweetener. At this point though, it looks like Laffy is stepping up in production and of course value.
Also depends how much need a team has for X type player which would tilt the scales.
(Bet that someone wont read the entire sentence and start with "but he's a first rounder, the other guy is undrafted, how dare you".)

Or you can get the first now, flip it at draft for another Dach or Newhook. It's common for good players to stumble around 21-22. Hughes seem to be pretty good at finding those kind of players. But I doubt it is Laf. Are Rangers looking for help on D?

Laffy is inching up in value closer to a 50 point forward so that trade gap is widening. I just brought him up as an example of an underachieving player. There are others of lesser value with potential, which was the point of this thread.
Reality is that X has a bit of an unknown upside. Right now is not the time to trade him unless of course another team has a similar situation and player.

Oh now he's the 8th D? OK lol
Also he doesn't require waivers. But thanks for your insight

Don't think the Habs would get anything that'd make it worth it to trade him, on a good team he's not even an every day 3rd pair guy rn. The flip side of that is he's still young, cheap, very raw, and has the intangibles that teams love. But for all those reasons the habs should (and probably will) hold on to him and let him develop rather then flip him for a mid round pick.

Minutes played per game, he is 8th on the depth chart, that’s what I assume poster meant.
He's been out injured. Lindstrom/Struble wouldn't even be on tbe roster if he hadn't been called up as injury replacements .
No. He's referring to the fact that Xhekaj has been assigned to Laval after being activated off IR

all season.... hes the 8th dman in average icetime for the whole season.
He hasn't been a healthy scratch since Dec 1 2022. Quite the feat for a supposed 8th D

That actually might be a decent fit, though I'd rather someone from the 2019 or 2020 drafts.

there is no supposed, hes 8th in average icetime. hes likely been able to stay in because of other players injuries. when everyone is healthy it looks like the habs coaching staff turn to the other dmen first. not a promising sign considering the habs dcore is among the worst in the league.

"Wanna go, Prettyboy?"
Which would be an odd thing for him to say because he clearly is interested at the price of a third round pick.
One makes a trade of a player at this age based on what you think he will do be not what he has done.

What is your problem?
This is literally a thread where the OP asked what you would give up to acquire Arber Xhecaj, and this person responded with their answer and now you're berating them and asking why Montreal would take that trade?
Are you having a hard time following the thread?

Xhekaj started the season with everyone healthy
Lindstrom and Struble will be the ones leaving
Matheson - Savard
Guhle - Barron
Xhekaj - Kovacevic
Harris

Wahlstrom drastically needs a change of scenery. With just Barzal healthy, he basically gets pushed out by everyone else on the roster at this moment. WiFi at the very least make games on tv fun to watch when Butch Goring butchers his name like anyone else’s that isn’t Smith or Jones.
Didnt miss 2 months, missed 7 games.
Bizarre to send a top 4 dman in AHL with Savard and Harris already down.
playing to lose i guess

Injured doesn’t change your TOI per game, he’s still 8th.
He’s still a third pairing.
