It can never hurt to sign a draftee to his Entry-Level Contract, especially when his brother already plays for your team.

Did everything for Brantford this year, fight and score. Wish him all the best.

Btw, in the stats section.. They're not the Hamilton Bulldogs anymore.

a 6'4'' physical forward that has that "I'm a psycho that will jump you" aspect to his game with some offensive upside. All that will be turned up to 11 if both Xhekaj brothers can be on the ice at the same time.

Should be fun!!!

An absolute menace on the ice, will need to stop taking so many penalties but he has the ability to contribute on the scoresheet, physically and in the mind games. Would expect him to be a good 3rd line/bottom 6 guy in the future

Broke out offensively in the OHL this year, but let's be real; you're not playing this kid for his offense.

Like his brother, Florian is an absolute warrior. His toughness alone gives him a direct shot at the NHL. Good pickup for the Habs, nice seeing a draftee get an ELC!

I hope he takes Anderson's spot in the lineup next season and Anderson is in Laval.

This should be fun...

You have both Xhekajs, Reaves, Both Tkahuks, Imama, McEwen, Maroon, Lucic, Jeannot and Justin Holl in the same division... There's going to be a lot of fights in the near future

Most analysts thought we was drafted way too high, but MTL's scouting team saw a "unicorn" in him (their word): A tug with speed and hands.... just like his brother...

Even if it is most likely his ceiling would be NHL's bottom 6 (or even 4th line), MTL lacks so much big wingers in their prospect pool (Tuch might not sign, Heineman is meh), he becomes very important in the future roster's construction.

With the compete level this kid possesses i wouldn’t be surprised to see him make his debut with the big club next season.
