A team from Western Canada is showing strong interest in Arber Xhekaj

According to David Pagnotta of "The Fourth Period," the Calgary Flames have expressed interest in the imposing defenseman.

The Flames are known for being a physically robust team, so it's not surprising to see them involved in the Arber Xhekaj sweepstakes. However, the intentions of the Canadiens are still unknown, according to reports.

Calgary holds the 9th overall selection in the upcoming draft. Some fans on social media have suggested that discussions should begin with the Flames' first-round pick for such a transaction.

Would you trade the 9th overall pick for Arber Xhekaj plus another pick or prospect? It could be an interesting return given the circumstances.
