“I was telling Mike Matheson that I’m the third oldest defenseman on the team right now. I’m 23 and I don’t even have a 100 games, so it’s pretty crazy. But it’s fun to have a young core and we’ll see what we can do.” – Arber Xhekaj on being the oldest D-man in tonight’s Habs preseason lineup

  2. Arber reminds me of a lite version of Shea Weber. Would be amazing if he peaks as a complete shut down 2 way D.

  3. Really is ridiculous how young our D core is. Any examples of other teams recently having so many young D men?

  4. Love Arber and I really hope the lesson of getting sent down last season is still sticking with him. He’s in a tough battle with Struble for third pair LD, and while he has the edge to me for his physical presence and better offensive skills, Struble will push for that spot.
