I think Xhekaj is going to be in demand in the off-season from a team that gets bullied in the playoffs and Hughes will be all too happy to sell-high. Guy's not improving. Look at Struble, look at Xhekaj. Big gap between them now.

He’s fine as a 7th defenceman. Exactly what a goon should be, just a pressbox player that plays ~50 games a year.

Xhekaj gets way too much flack, he was playing excellent hockey for most of the season while Struble was playing like absolute ass pretty much every game until he's had to fill in for Guhle. Savard literally cannot move.

I like Xhekaj plenty btw, and more than Struble... I wouldn't say excellent but for his own standards Xhekaj did improve from last season to this one - yes. But by the same notion, so has Struble.

Look, they have to make it hard for the coach and manager and only Struble has stepped up in this stretch but I will concede that Savard is rather problematic as a pairing partner.
