A brand new role for Arber Xhekaj with the Montreal Canadiens

He is expected to take on a larger role defensively, as well as a mentoring role for the organization's young defensemen, despite his own youth.

This interesting point was raised by experienced journalist Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette.

Xhekaj has always been a leader for his hockey team. He was a captain with strong leadership qualities for his junior team.

Stéphane Robidas and Martin St-Louis have frequently noted that Xhekaj is well-regarded by his teammates and commands respect.

He can clearly contribute on the ice, but also off it, in terms of attitude, for players like Lane Hutson, David Reinbacher, and Logan Mailloux. Not to mention his brother Florian Xhekaj, who has promising potential for the NHL.

Xhekaj embraces this brand new role with great appreciation.
