Sportsnet's renowned tipster Elliotte Friedman delivered an interesting tidbit about Arber Xhekaj's younger brother during his most recent 32 Thoughts.

According to him, brother Florian Xhekaj is expected to be drafted this summer in the NHL.

"Arber Xhekaj's younger brother Florian is getting attention in the OHL with Hamilton. Draft guru Sam Cosentino thinks he will be selected in June." - Elliotte Friedman

It must be said that while the sudden development Arber Xhekaj is a surprise, Florian is also one.

This will be the second year of draft accessibility for Florian, who will be 19 at the time.

In his first year in the OHL, he had 17 points in 49 games and spent 58 minutes in the penalty box. He played in a lower league last year with the Pelham Panthers of the GOJHL.

At 6-foot-2 and 185 pounds, the forward is a carbon copy of his older brother, physically speaking, even if he is two inches shorter. He has the same drive and toughness as the Canadiens' number 72.

Obviously, some NHL executives would not want to pass up another Xhekaj and regret it a few years later.

Will we see Wifi's brother in the Tricolore organization? With a late draft pick, it's a very real possibility. If that scenario arises, should we call him Wifi 2?
