Then I guess you don’t believe Laf is still going to be a star.

He very well might be but sending Xhekaj and monahan plus a pick that could very well end up land us someone better than laff is way too big of a risk to take , i wouldn't even do the pick straight up for laff without having top 8 protection on it

Xhekaj is and will always be a 3rd pairing Dman. I get that he’s a fan favorite though. Monahan is worth a late first in terms of value and the 1st is Florida’s. Very unlikely that pick is any higher than 11th or 12th overall.

Maybe this is too much to spend, but that depends on what you think about Laf. If you believe he’s going to be a star then this is a bargain. If you believe he won’t be then it’s an overpayment. The guy is underutilized in NY. He scored 20 even strength goals last season, that’s huge. He gets limited power play time.

Xhekaj is the 6th youngest defenceman playing regularly in the NHL right now, he's the leading goal scorer for Rookie Dman and everyone younger than him were top 7 picks projected to be top pair guys (or top 9, I'm not 100% on that) but sure , tell me again how you have his career all paned out for him already

The Florida pick is currently 8th and Monahan will return the 28-32 pick this year or maybe in 2024

We heard the same thing about drouin and how did that turn out eh ?! You don't spend that much on a gamble that he's under utilized by his drafting team

Romanov for dach was a small gamble and that's about the only gamble I'd do for laff

He can score a few goals, that isn’t enough to project him as anything more than a 3rd pairing Dman. He has little offense in his game, is an average puck mover at best, and is pretty good defensively. Most of his value comes from his presence on the ice, the intangibles. It’s pretty safe to project him as a bottom pairing guy, as much as I love him.

Florida may be 8th in lottery standings for now, but Barkov and Ekblad are their two best players and they’ve been hurt for a month or so. They are back and that will lead to more wins. I’m not saying they will make the playoffs, because that is incredibly unlikely, but don’t be surprised when they climb a little bit.

You might be able to get away with only giving up the Florida 1st and if so I’d do it in a heart beat, but I wouldn’t be against giving up more.

I love how you ignored everything i said why projecting his carrer before it even begon, like i said all those rookie defenseman young than hin ir projected as top pair D but for some reason he's the 6th youngest leading all rookie D in goals but you already know his career not to progress and stay exactly the same as his first EVERY pro season, cool

You keep bringing up goals yet that is the least important aspect of a defenseman’s game. It’s called a safe projection. Sure I could say he’ll be a top pairing Dman, but that would be delusional. I guess low end 2nd pairing D isn’t out of the question though.

There's a masive difference between a 5th-6th defenseman to a 3rd-4th defenseman

There really isn’t much difference between a 4th and a 5th defenseman.

I can be wrong but I could see Xhekaj being a good 4th or 5th defensemen in the league with number of presence on the powerplay.

He is not only able to fight, to be able to hit hard, he can shoot and move the puck. He don't have the hardest shoot like a Weber or the complete build like an Hedman or Josi but if you took some time and look how he's playing he use more of is wrist shot to put the puck on the net when there are screen infront which provides great offensive opportunities.

Honestly I don't understand why Montreal keep going with 5 forward on power play, you have potential defensemen in Xhekaj and Harris that could be a decent choice to be thean on the blue line.

Montreal powerplay is really bad right now and guest who was able to score the last time, Arber Xhekaj did when he was put on it against Florida.

He won't be the biggest super star or top 2 I will gave it to you, but he could potentially be a good gem to polish and find a spot between top 3 to 5 on Montreal defense.

So in my opinion he should be keep and work on.
