Since Marc Bergevin signed defenseman Arber Xhekaj following last year's training camp, the hockey world has gone crazy, and with good reason. Many Bettman general managers are biting their fingers that they didn't discover the Canadiens' number 72 before. In addition to being able to play both defensive and offensive hockey, Xhekaj is making his mark as a very solid guy who fighter who is not to be tested on the ice. As Jeremy Pearman of Habsolumentfan.com mentions, Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek significantly highlighted Xhekaj's discovery on the latest episode of their podcast <i>32 Thoughts</i> <q>Xhekaj is a gold coin. He's a grand slam. Elliotte Friedman</q> <q>You know when you find an old pair of pants you haven't worn in a while and find a $50 bill in one of the pockets? Xhekaj is that $50 bill.
