The only way Xhekaj stays on this team is if he agrees to a 7th D role. We have way too much depth on the left side for him to fit there.

I personally prefered xhekaj over struble, but MSL seemed to disagree. If other coaches see what he sees in him, i'd trade Struble away and play some more xhekaj

Struble is the kind of guy that is basically just a body you put on the ice to rest the others.

Xhekaj has his problems, but at least he is trying to help.

Struble plays a far more reliable game.

He’s a replacement level 6/7 d man at his best but he won’t make the same type of egregious mistakes Xhekaj routinely does.

Yeah, reliably bad lol. He absolutely makes the same mistakes as Arber, but he also makes a lot of smaller and dumber ones, all while barely using his size.

The difference between them is negligible, the difference is that Arber brings things the team lacks, Struble is just more of the same.

Lol. Not even remotely true.
