\t\t\t\t\tThe excellent Brian Wilde has just revealed some interesting information about Montreal Canadiens defenseman Arber Xhekaj<\/a>.<\/p>\n It’s interesting, because there aren’t really many trade rumors involving Xhekaj right now, for obvious reasons, but Wilde still addressed the matter.<\/p>\n What is Arber Xhekaj worth on the NHL trade market?<\/p>\n “Trading Arber Xhekaj would very likely come back to haunt the Habs..”<\/p>\n “I’m going to say the market for him is a 2nd round draft pick, but they’re not trading him because he’s a unicorn”<\/p>\n – Brian Wilde<\/p>\n The expert went on to say that the Canadiens’ management knows very well that Xhekaj is a special, unique player, and they see absolutely no reason to trade him for anything less than a first-round pick.<\/p>\n The Canadiens already have plenty of 2nd- and 3rd-round picks in Montreal.<\/p>\n “And Wilde raises another good point: in Montreal, Xhekaj’s case goes beyond hockey plans.<\/p>\n We’re talking about a guy who is extremely popular in the city, and trading him away for next to nothing would likely frustrate the fans more than anything else.”<\/p>\n – F\u00e9lix Forget<\/p>\n That’s indeed a very good point, and it’s something that weighs heavily when it comes time for Kent Hughes to evaluate a trade offer for Arber Xhekaj (coming from another team).<\/p>\n And you, would you trade Arber Xhekaj for a first-round pick from a competitive team?<\/p>\n Previously on HabsFanatics<\/p>\n POLL<\/p>\n 6 HOURS AGO\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0474 ANSWERS<\/p>\n Source Reveals the Only Condition Canadiens Would Agree to Trade Arber Xhekaj<\/p>\n And you, would you trade Arber Xhekaj for a first-round pick from a competitive team?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tHABSFANATICS.COM
