And yet he hasn't come back up. Perhaps because he's the 9th dman on the depth chart
Nope the reason why Xhekaj was demote to AHL was
1: return from injury and need reconditioned
2: was going out of is game style and getting stupid penalty
3: as a good rookie he should have big minutes and with Savard, Matheson taking them he need to find it elsewhere
4: he need to remember that while hit and fighting it is game style that he's also good with the puck.
Honestly I found him pretty good on an powerplay not the biggest Slapshot but when he using is wrist shot he's on point on the net which created good opportunity. Also another point is that Laval need to give good experience to the young prospect and just looking how Xhekaj have been an monumental element in the recent win for the team prove that he's one of the important piece Montreal have.
If there talk about Hutson and Reinbacher being a perfect pair, Xhekaj and Mailloux is also really good together. By being able to play both to help build chemistry and experience they will only be more dominant at the end.
