Total surprise for Florian Xhekaj with the Montreal Canadiens?
At the upcoming Canadiens training camp, several young prospects are worth watching, including Florian Xhekaj.
This year, Xhekaj has shown significant progress with a strong season in the OHL and three games with the Laval Rocket.
Although Xhekaj is eligible to return to junior hockey, it increasingly seems likely that he will start the season with the Rocket.
He has demonstrated great physical maturity and an excellent development camp.
Stu Cowan believes that Xhekaj could be called up to Montreal in case of injuries, even though he is not expected to play in a top-6 role in the NHL.
His playing style, characterized by his toughness, forechecking, and good shot, could make him valuable for the Canadiens if needed.
If Xhekaj continues his strong performance, he might get a chance with the big club if opportunities arise.
