Commandant Posted July 19, 2024 Share Posted July 19, 2024 Yeah i don't see why Mete would sign with a team with loaded LHD spots. He'd be looking for a team where he's an injury or two away from the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loved it in MTL and if he married a Quebecker it may be good for him. He may be a good option on the PP in Laval and sheltering prospects as they learn the ropes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see "sheltering" as more likely in the NHL; for example, Hutson getting PP time but selective, third pairing minutes (such as avoiding some defensive zone faceoffs in tight games).

Bisson-Paquette covered Mailloux and others when paired with them. That is what Inwas revering to. Veterans are depended upon for that, and Mete could do that in Laval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider "sheltering" to be hiding the player and only using them in optimal circumstances ... being paired with a youngster I see as "supporting/mentoring" them.

In this case its just saying something obvious, french AHL coach of a team that hires only french speaking head coaches is a candidate for an eventual head coach opening whenever that comes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted August 8, 2024 Share Posted August 8, 2024 It's a fair one to wonder about. On the one side, sending him to play against a bunch of smaller players where he can away with a lot simply because of his size/strength isn't ideal. On the other hand, he looks like he'd be a fourth-liner in Laval, maybe on the third when injuries creep up. If that's the case, might it make more sense to put him back in junior where he'll play 20-plus minutes a night? I think they're leading toward putting him with the Rocket but I can definitely see a viable case to send him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted August 10, 2024 Share Posted August 10, 2024 A Unicorn, isnt that how he was referred to? 2024 Montreal Canadiens Top 25 Under 25: #23 Florian Xhekaj (habseyesontheprize.com) "He’ll be coming to rookie and main camp for Montreal this season riding a pretty absurd development curve." Laval or OHL? "Brock Otten from McKeen’s scouting joined our podcast recently and suggested that the best place for Xhekaj to continue developing his offensive game is the OHL."

DON Posted August 12, 2024 Share Posted August 12, 2024 Smallish and i guess not big on physicality? What kinds of season can we expect him to have in Laval? 2024 Montreal Canadiens Top 25 Under 25: #20 Filip Mesar (habseyesontheprize.com) "He’s unable to fight through contact, which is tough for a player who thrives in possession like he does. Even with his quick feet and good hands, a bigger player can somewhat easily get between him and his designs of carrying the puck deep into the offensive zone."

This is the fifth year of his three-year entry-level deal (thanks to two slide seasons) so he’s set to be a restricted free agent for the first time next summer.
