Prospect Info: Florian Xhekaj

[LaP]

No one ever accused Martin Lapointe of being eloquent

Which is strange since many people accused Stephane Ouellet of being a poète.

 

[Hannibal]

What did Florian donto deserved a match penalty ahaha

 

[Tyson]

I guess Florian Xhekaj was given a major and game misconduct for a slew foot. The kid plays with an edge.

 

[Whitesnake]

Xhekaj suspended.....already. Any chance he is asked to calm himself down a little as his team is supposed to count more on his points?

 

[HuGort]

These Xhekajs are they gifts from Elon Musk? He has fascination with X. They both overachieving

 

[Whitesnake]

Any chance Florian calm the f*** down a little? Just a little.

 

[overlords]

I do like that he's building his confidence level up. He doesnt have his brother's natural tools, so he has to make up for it somehow. As long as he also gets better at the actual hockey part of things, I'm fine with him going a bit nuts. I see him playing the full 5 seasons in junior anyway, he has lots of time ahead of him.

Maybe in a few years

Was torn here as A lifer Knights fan and Habs fan. Old school bomb fest rarely seen in Jr anymore.
Old school fans will recognize the Knights player last name Boulton.

If he wants to develop, he’s gonna have to stay on the ice at some point.

 

[dinodebino]

OK, he tries to much to be like Big Bro. No clue why though. If he continues, the league will suspend him long term, or he will be kicked out. Enough, kid. There's only one Sherrif.

Great fight!

Edge young Boulton, but both guys throwing and landing with aplomb.

Eric Boulton’s son has a lot of the old man in him. He landed some shots there. Xhekaj did as well, but I’d give the decision to Boulton in a dandy scrap.

Florian is the real deal folks, I think we caught lightning in a bottle twice here, and at this point I’m willing to take a shot at signing their sisters as well.

It’s his only hope moving forward. He won’t make the NHL because of skill or smarts. So playing this way is his only choice.

 

[CAUFIELD]

Tough kid raised by neo-canadians parents in a modest household. He’s hungry and plays like he’s the big dog. I like it

Fighting every game won’t get him in the show.

I think he has enough ability to be at least a 4th line forward.

 

[le_sean]

I think he has enough ability to be at least a 4th line forward.

He has to show more in the juniors first. Look at Pezzetta as an example. Most of these fringe pugilists were at least good CHL players at some point.

Damn... that was definitely a big boys tilt... I don't really like seeing that honestly. The kid is a gamer though.

I like it personally. No matter what he will have to get his nose dirty/fight because of his family name.

 

[HabzSauce]

Some guys are just built for it. Not like he's small either he's a big kid. Already 6'4. Lots of time to gain more mass too.

He looks like a loose ball right now but a damn respectable one. Let him mature a few more years and we might have another unicorn.

 

[Scriptor]

This year, he fights.

Next year, he picks his fights.

Following year, he's in the AHL/ECHL

 

[ReHabs]

Imagine being one of the hundreds of skilled players the Habs looked over to draft this hopeless fighter with a 4th round pick

Bobrov: we believe in buckets, that’s why we draft for bucket-need and not the best prospect we can identify.
