Arber Xhekaj, a defenseman for the Montreal Canadiens, is gradually establishing himself in the National Hockey League. Two Maple Leafs players had the following to say about him: <q>He's a big guy who's not afraid to play physically and has shown he's not afraid of anyone. - Michael Bunting</q> <q>I have tremendous respect for what he has accomplished. - Wayne Simmonds</q> Many players pay attention to him when he speaks up, and he frequently sticks up for his teammates. Could he inherit a A on his jersey in an effort to support the current captain with Joel Edmundson's impending departure? Without a doubt, Xhekaj is a strong leader who will eventually have a letter on his jersey. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DLCoulisses/status/1617326216259768321?t=51LuKNdRHFeTPy-mLLVcWQ&s=19'> </a></blockquote></div> Credit: <a href='https://www.habsetlnh.com/equipe-lnh/canadiens-de-montreal/Canadien-de-Montreal-une-grosse-promotion-inattendue-pour-Arber-Xhekaj' class='link_marker' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Habsetlnh.com</a>
