As of writing this his Elite Prospects profile didn't link up with his CapFriendly one, so it's as if he just materialized out of nowhere this preseason to play for the Habs.

There are also no stats on his page at all. Maybe he’s an alien that came to earth to play hockey.
For those wondering, his name is pronounced “Jack-eye”.
Great name, and a solid player, especially considering his age. If he works on his game he has the tools to be a defensive defenseman similar to Patrick Nemeth. (In fact their height and weight are nearly identical)
Also, if Xhekaj were to play an NHL game, he would be the first player in NHL history to have a last name beginning with an X.
It's incredible how the Canadiens really pulled this man out of nowhere and found a spot for him. The craziest part is, after watching him, I think Xhekaj could seriously play in the NHL as a 3rd pairing shutdown D-man on some bad team.
I love Arber, I remember playing NHL 20 Be a Pro, picking the Kitchener Rangers, and winning a lot with him, also, we finally have a guy with a last name starting with X (his last name is pronounced Zee-caj)
