Prospect Info: Florian Xhekaj

[BozoTheClown]

6 goals + 2 assists in the last 10 games riding a hot 23,3 shooting % on the year. Xhekaj is 1 goal away from cracking the top-10 in goals for rookies with his league leading penalty minutes as of today. Performing in all situations, it's hard to not be excited about his potential at this point. Such a great 4th round pick.

Depending on how many bodies get moved at the TDL, he should be in the mix to get his first cup of coffee in the big league. Still 20 years old until june 27th, I saw him a fourth-line center or third-line LW. I'm leaning towards the third line for Florian. He just needs to add some more weight on his lanky frame to be more solid in his fights and on his skates. He's going to be a menace alongisde his brother for many, many years to come.

It’s like something happened to him when he scored 3 goals and added 2 assists on December 15th 2024.
8 goals, 2 assists in his last 20 with 85 penalty minutes. I think it’s safe to say that with a little more discipline he is closer to 20 goals.

With Laval being decimated with injuries, he is showing he can step his play up when given more responsibilities.
