Value of: Arber Xhekaj value in a trade

[WetcoastOrca]

That was last year. This year he's worth more now and if he develops into a Chara, he's a worth a kings ransom.

I find it entertaining that people who don't know squat about hockey try to troll.

Develops into Chara?

 

[CanadienShark]

WTF?

Are you guys actually serious?

Those takes are bad. No way I'd argue otherwise. Lots of bad takes on the other end of the spectrum. Realistically, I wouldn't trade him at this point. He's an interesting enough player to keep as his trade value has taken a hit recently. I'd rather keep him and risk him busting, than move him for even a 2nd. Big overpayment like a mid 1st? Sure, he's gone. That won't happen though.

I'm glad we have our NJ crew clogging up the thread, as usual. They sure add a lot. Not referring to you, obviously.

The first page of this thread is the stuff I come to HFBoards for.

Xhekaj is gonna develop into Chara lmaooooooo. That guy is alone even on the Habs boards, I've been in an argument about that before, I thought he was drunk or something but I guess not.

Imagine thinking that for real. Xhekaj might become Chara. That is a looney tunes take in a sea of looney tunes.

Montreal should keep him. If Reinbacher & Hutson develop, they will be in need of a guy like Xhekaj to add some snarl. Hard to win with a charmin soft blueline.

No the Anderson one went for Chiarot instead and the Xhekaj one went for Monahan.

i thought those went for petry and allen.

Best thread ever. Thank you.

If Xhekaj kept playing well like the past couple of games then I don't see the Habs trade him. Whether he fetched a 1st or not, is it really relevant when your team doesn't want to trade you?

Wow!!

Xhekaj, a bit part #6/7 AHL Level d-man, would apparently demand a high/mid 1st round pick (5-10 range according to some). He is even being compared to Chara FFS

What is in the water in MTL?

 

[conFABulator]

Why is there so much discussion about the value of a guy who has difficulty cracking the top six of the worst d in the league?

I am not even being a hater. Yes, he is a tough guy and I like the player, but having a Dman as your enforcer is a bad idea. It doesn't add to his value.

 

[TheNumber4]

Let me guess, still an AHL Tweener D like I said a year ago.

I can certainly get on board with your take. The guy has size and a mean streak and if he can become a solid dman, (even bottom pairing) would be well worth holding on to. I’m not a hater at all, but was shocked at those couple of takes.
