Value of: Arber Xhekaj value in a trade​


Because you can't make this stuff up, and we all need a good laugh.

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.
------------------------------------------
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.
-------------------------------------------
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.

-------------------------------------------

I doubt Montreal would trade Wifi for 13th overall.

Chiarot went for UNPROTECTED first and 4th. Xhekaj be worth more 100 times out of 100.

-------------------------------------------

Oh Boy...

5 of the 8 teams in the Atlantic and 8 of the 16 teams in the east are sub .500 right now. Isles are currently in the last Wild card spot thanks to their 5 loser points lol.

For years the Atlantic division was the most difficult in the league, and now it may be the worst division.
Over the past 6 seasons, the Atlantic is the toughest divisions in the Cap era. As I don’t think there was any divisions in a 6 yrs span which produced at least one team in the SCF(4 teams), THREE SC winners(two teams) plus THREE President winners(three teams).

Of course, Ottawa couldn't take advantage of a tired Edmonton team. If that was Toronto, Ottawa would've had the game of their lives

More of the same from them. I had my hopes on big things from Playoff Warrior this season, especially after they traded for a real goalie. Funny how that works.

I refuse to believe, that after an extensive search, Kyle Dubas couldn't find a better GM than Kyle Dubas.

In all honesty, when Kyle is no longer in the league, I want there to be a documentary about how this all happened. It's fascinating.

How many years left on his Pittsburgh contract? The team is in shambles right now. Just wait until Sid and Geno leave/retire.

More likely the real GM's, the one's who are actually good at their jobs, didn't want to work for him.

I could see that. Who wants to take orders from a 30 year old analytics geek?

Besides that who would want to be GM of a team that everyone knew was gonna stink hard the indefinite future?

Dubas was around for the Leafs rebuild so he might actually be a better choice than some give him credit for... assuming he learned from his mistakes that is.

I don't think it's that. Might be more he doesn't want to put someone in place that he could see as a threat to his job.

Probably.

The proclaimed defensive stud Jake Sanderson, -12, zero even strength points so far this season. Rough start for that contract extension.

Impossible. The Sens inked all their stars in the making to basement bargain deals.:sarcasm:

A co-worker of mine lives next door to him. Says he's a nice kid. He used that contract extension on a $2M home in the sticks. Imagine that in your early 20's.
