Laval’s Florian Xhekaj is Developing into Montreal’s Next Fourth-Line Center
On the contrary, there isn’t a spot for Xhekaj on the NHL roster, certainly not now and probably not next season either. The Canadiens centers are Nick Suzuki, Jake Evans, Kirby Dach, Phillip Danault, and Oliver Kapanen (who was scratched from the recent game but will eventually develop into a middle-six center). Xhekaj’s most likely path to the NHL is to start on the wing with this in mind.
