I have been screaming this for a year. I repied on here many times this year , saying Xhekaj should be a forward. He has a world class shot and he is not afraid to go to the net. You can see when he has the puck he wants to go. It also sets the table to have the Xhekaj brothers on the same line. Put his on the line with Dach and Newhook. Watch the space he will create. . When Laine gets back, think about this, 6'4 . 6,4 and 6'5. Please move Xhekaj up and not as a goon on the 4th line.
I could see him as a 4th line winger and maybe even get some PK time too.
Id rather see struble with his speed and offensive instinct as a forward and leave Arber on D
Arpon Basu is a total dink.
well he has the dirty hit part down…..another loser like hempe
Ppl in MTL have been talking about that since Arber arrived in MTL.
No Arber is not Rempe, Arber can play hockey and feed Knuckle sandwiches to idiots getting out of line.
I would dress Arber and Strubble as bottom pair and sit Barron against big teams.
Skilled teams, rotate Strubble and Arber in and out
Nonsense
I'd move Hutson on the forward group instead, it just makes much more sense to have a skilled player like that to "replace" Laine.
i can just picture the 4rth line in 3-4 years Xhekaj, Tuch & Xhekaj, not a line i would like playing against
Except Arber is MUCH better at hockey.
People often forget that Wendel Clark was drafted #1 as a defenseman. The Leafs moved him to forward.
Non sense, i just think they will rotate theire young defensemen. In the home opener and against ottawa if both those team come with toff lineup. i would be surprise they go nuclear with struble and xhekaj without hutson or barron
This all assumes the Justin Barron has secured a spot in the top 6, which he definitely has not.
next year Albert Florian Tuch for the 4e line
Arby, on the wing, absolutely. That kind of free range would be like putting the sherriff on a motorcycle. Not quite as huge as Rempe, but has lots more fire and grit, could be an outstanding netfront presence as well.
No ! D-man is the hardest position to play in the NHL.
Give him time to reach his potential … if he takes penalties defending his team then it’s the pk unit’s job to kill those penalties.
Giving 3 goals on one pp is abismal at best and should worry fans alot more than how Arber is playing .
Wow I never thought about that you're good to bad the coach hasn't tried it in preseason games
Tyler Thorp 6'5" and the Xhekaj bros on the fourth line. Heck yeah! I would have them playing the full first period and have the other trio's come into play later against the survivors.
Xhekaj can play hockey. Rempe cannot.
Nicolas Deslauriers was a d-men before he was converted to a winger
Top 6 should be matheson, savard, guhle, xhekaj, struble,hutson and mailloux as 7 barron isnt better than em
Always get a free pass when they jump a Leaf player, he is a COWARD
If he would accept such role, he would be a gem as a fwd spot..maybe even a bigger cash out for him.
Actually a pretty good idea.
He not going anywhere. But Florian spot is compromised
