EB......for your info....mentor is the same in french...we say...un mentor....
But Arber still managed to finish the game with +1 within 16:25 minutes of ice time, not so bad considering it was his first NHL game in 2 months. I’d give him a few more games before judging if he’s more useful than Barron.Habs just lost 4-1 to the Sens! The Habs once again were never in this game & Arber X took another dumb penalty in the third period when the habs were only trailing by two goals & gaining momentum. Poor Arbour! If he keeps taking dumb penalties he’ll quickly be back in Laval!

Arber XhekajJe pense qu’il faut lui donner une couple de parties pour retrouver le rythme LNH, ensuite on verra si il s’est réellement amélioré en défense. Faut pas oublier que l’an passé il se débrouillait assez bien pour un kid qui, au départ, n’était même pas sensé être là. Ceci étant dit, il n’est pas impossible qu’il fasse partie d’un deal avant la date limite des transactions, d’où son rappel pour le mettre en vitrine.
Ce soir Patrick Roy au centre Bell...Arber Xhekaj
He hasn’t had a good season at all & that’s why they sent him down to Laval. His defensive play hasn’t been very good & he was sent to Laval due to the numbers game in that the team had better players ahead of him, such as Jordan Harris & Jayden Struble. On the team’s depth chart he’s behind Guhle, Savard, Kovacevic, Mathieson, Harris & Struble. This puts him at #7 on the team’s depth chart & instead of having him waste away in the stands the team decided to send him to Laval in order to have him play regularly & learn how to play defence.
He surprised everyone last season by being a walk-in at training camp & making the team. However this season the team started to realize why he had never been drafted by an NHL team. He came back to Earth. He’s back playing like he’s always played. And now that the defence is better than last season his importance on the team isn’t as important as it was last season. If they don’t trade him maybe they should start playing him on the wing in a 4th line role.
However the team will likely try to trade David Savard at the trade deadline so if this happens Xhekaj will move up on the depth chart & see regular playing time on the team’s third pair of defencemen.
Je n’ai vu que les 9 dernières minutes du match et le geste de Gally me surprend beaucoup. Gally n’est pas Mark Messier, pour donner un tel coup de coude il devait sûrement avoir eu un coup salaud qui est passé inaperçu pendant le match. Mais bon, il a failli être directement responsable d’une défaite inacceptable. Avec un score de 3-1 en ta faveur et 8 minutes à jouer tu ne pose pas un geste comme ça, surtout un vétéran, très égoïste comme comportement.Ouffff.....on l"a échappé belle à cause encore des punitions et du comportement douteux de GALLAGHER qui sera sûrement suspendu pour son geste stupide....gros merci à MONAHAN avec une grosse soirée et le but gagnant en toute fin de match....et SAM a
fait le travail.......bel accueil pleinement mérité pour ROY.....et victoire des HABS.....difficile d'en demander plus pour cette soirée spéciale.
I don’t see anything wrong with his attitude. Sure he was surprised at being sent to Laval and wasn’t happy about it. But over time he understood the move and accepted it knowing he’d be back with the big club if he played well and he did.So Arber est échanger ce sera à cause de son attitude et non pas à cause de ses performances, si Chara a été capable d’apprendre à jouer en restant dans la LNH, n’importe qui peut apprendre à devenir un défenseur plus que potable.
I doubt being drafted 56th overall was just because of his height. I’m certain the scouts saw talent & possibly leadership also.Just remember Chara’s first years in the NHL, I wouldn’t have want him on my team, he was drafted only because of his height. And, honestly, he never became a great D man in my book, but his big body allowed him to stay out of trouble. I believe Arber has more potential, the kid is 22, with some patience he can be a solid 3-4 defenseman.
C’était écrit dans le ciel qu’il allait être échangé, Hugues ne doit pas s’engager à long terme avec un vétéran qui va demander un gros salaire dès la saison prochaine. Depuis qu’il est en poste qu’il se débat pour dégraisser sa masse salariale, ça serait con de recommencer à signer des contrats de 8 ans avec des joueurs qui vont être rendu à 36-37 ans quand l’équipe va atteindre son peak.WOW....on s'y attendait MONAHAN échangé aux JETS...perso très très très déçu de cette transaction même pour le 1er choix des JETS....very good move pour les JETS on le comprend bien...MAIS il avait son importance ici tant pour son talent que pour les
jeunes de l'organisation....alors que rien de plus incertain de ce qui nous attend de cette transaction....my 2 cents .
