Drafted in the 4th round in 2023, Florian has everything to become a good supporting player with the Canadiens, as he favors a robust style of play combined with finesse.
Indeed, last year, Florian exploded in terms of offensive production, with 34 goals and 65 points in 63 games. For a colossus standing 6'4" and weighing 200 lbs, that's really impressive.
Just like his brother Arber, Florian never hesitates to drop the gloves and defend his teammates. Nick Bobrov calls him a unicorn due to the rarity of this type of player, and it seems he hit the mark.
Florian will join Laval or Montreal this season and will be very well accompanied. The younger Xhekaj is in a relationship with a person named Kayla Latreille, and she is beautiful.
He will try to secure a spot with the Rocket, which should be a formality. I wouldn't be surprised if he climbs the ranks quickly, eventually moving into the team's top 6.
With Rafaël Harvey-Pinard's injury with the Canadiens, he might even have a pleasant surprise with a call-up, if all goes well.
According to his own words, he believes in his chances of playing in the NHL this season. After all, his brother also made the jump from junior to the NHL, so why not!
Here are photos of the couple. They really look great together!
