I think one more year in OHL. Imagine how many goons are gonna go after the Sherriff's little bro. He still needs to gain weight too.
Florian also missed a year due to COVID lockout.
Great story guy's as it's stories like this that makes you folks very interesting & creates a craving to return again to your posts. God Bless
I think he's ready for the AHL, and he will continue to devellop, the Xhekaj's have a lot of determination, so i think, he will do anything he needs to make the NHL.
Flo X had a better 19:year old OHL season than Josh Anderson or Mike Pezzetta, the two Habs who's role he might take.
I got to watch him play many times when he was with Kitchener. Great to see him in the NHL.
Florian went head to head with Owen Beck during the regular season and dominated him. 😮
Love it!!! Thanks guys.
Florian has made remarkable gains this year and I'm very impressed. In particular his skating is vastly better. He WANTS the puck AND he dan do good things with it. Arber's great on the draw and he has a very good shot. A light came on, half way through the season. I want him to spend another year in Junior…give him another year to develop and a chance to dominate if he can. Arber is THE SHERRIF! He gets better every month. You have to love a young Defenceman who is 6-4, 230, very tough, can skate AND has a booming shot!!! I think this Team will have one of the best D in the League and with Florian, Beck, Mesar, Mailleux and Reinbacker in the weeds…the future looks very good.
Great story!
I could see Florian as a future 3rd line Centre in the NHL.
I really like Brerkley Catton, but how does he compare with Nick Suzuki at his draft year?
