Prospect Info: Florian Xhekaj

AHL so I get to watch him play with the other kids. Development schmelevopment.

He seems really confident out there I found. Good heads up plays, calm.

While he certainly could use more time in the OHL, as his lower body strength isn't there yet, but they signed him a year early so clearly the plan is Laval with the backup being OHL. They would burn a year off his ELC and he would count against the 50 contract limit, so to me since there was no rush to sign him, they did it with the plan of AHL if it goes well and OHL if it doesn't. So we'll see how camp goes when it starts up.

They signed his brother and sent him back as an overager...

They had to sign him or they wouldn't own his rights and they had to send him back to the OHL because he didn't play a single game the previous year due to covid.

Of course they will 100% send Florian back to the OHL, but I would bet everything I own that Hughes/Gorton plan when they signed him was Laval but if he struggles at camp then they will have no problem sending him to the OHL like Mesar last year.

So he's at 196 lbs now? Still way too thin and in the rookie camp he still looks like the lower body needs a good bit of work still so he can bounce off checks in the AHL.

Habs need to add some tough guys. Don't want our skilled young players pushed around

no spot for this unless trades . Anderson Dvorak Gallagher Armia take all the spots. Next year we will probably have 3 spots Gallagher will probably be the only 1 left out of those 4 , the 4th line will be different be patient my friend
