Major: Kent Hughes reportedly received a significant offer for Xhekaj
Arber Xhekaj is in high demand across the NHL, and it's easy to understand why, as the Canadiens' defenseman is a true enforcer.
He dominates on the ice, hits hard, and knows how to play hockey. For an enforcer to have both offensive and defensive skills is quite rare.
We're hearing more and more about teams calling Kent Hughes, but the latest news suggests the Canadiens' GM has been quick to hang up.
According to David Pagnotta, Kent Hughes received a very interesting call worth mentioning.
For a team's name to be publicly mentioned, it's significant. The interest in Xhekaj must be very high in Calgary, and the offer could reflect that interest.
Indeed, the Flames hold the 9th overall pick in the June 28 draft, and if they want to acquire Arber Xhekaj, their offer must start with that pick, possibly even more.
It's incredible how a player who was never drafted can be worth so much, and it's a testament to Xhekaj's value!
