He's a bottom 2 d-man. If you think most bottom 2 of the league are that far superior, you are mistaken.
Xhekaj’s also still young and a late bloomer who needs some coaching and playing time. Big guys can take time, especially on D. He won’t necessarily get much better, but it’s too early to give up.

The upgrade in linemates is the biggest reason why he's levelled up. You're not scoring a PPG pace playing with RHP and Ylonen. That's what I've been telling you for years and you keep ignoring it.
He wasn’t producing consistently even when CC was scoring. He’s a better player. It’s not just linemates.

Look at last season, first half he played at his usual pace - second half he lit it up. Same linemates. He just turned it on.
 
Id say the biggest upgrade is Hutson. The defense was non-existant offensively.
Hutson and Suzuki are neck-in-neck for our MVP. It goes to Suzuki, obviously, but Hutson's been a massssssssssive factor.

If I had to list our MVPs it would go

Suzuki
Hutson
-gap-
Caufield
Laine
(and I guess Matheson?)

Hutson and 2nd half Slaf are excellent linemates.
