One of Kent Hughes’ and the Montreal Canadiens’ solid acquisitions on offense in recent years came in the 4th round of the 2023 draft.
With the 101st overall pick, the Canadiens acquired young forward Florian Xhekaj, and since then, everything indicates that it’s a successful acquisition.
Selection of Florian Xhekaj: we can now say that it’s a successful acquisition for Kent Hughes and the Habs
See what Pascal Vincent just said about Arber Xhekaj‘s younger brother..
Coming from such an incredible hockey mind like him, yes, for me that confirms it’s a successful acquisition for the Habs.
“There are similarities between Florian Xhekaj and Adam Lowry.”
Pascal Vincent
Lowry is one of the most intimidating and underrated players in the NHL.
If Xhekaj becomes an Adam Lowry, it will really be mission accomplished for the Montreal Canadiens!
The comparison is all the more interesting because it comes precisely from Pascal Vincent, who knows Lowry very well!
Adam Lowry, 32 years old, is a very complete center at 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds.
He was a 3rd-round pick by the Winnipeg Jets in 2011, and he collected 34 points in 73 games last season, while posting a positive differential of +18.
We’re really talking here about one of the best third-line centers in the entire NHL.
