Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek make a major statement on Arber Xhekaj

Insiders Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek discussed the Montreal Canadiens' young defenceman, Arber Xhekaj.

A defenceman who, let's remember, was signed as a free agent by Marc Bergevin last year, since the youngster had never been drafted.

Here are the comments of the two journalists, during their most recent episode of their podcast 32 Thoughts :

"Xhekaj is a gold coin found in a river. He is a Grand Slam."

Elliotte Friedman

"You know when you find an old pair of trousers you haven't worn in a long time and you find a $50 note in one of the pockets? Xhekaj is that $50 note."

Jeff Marek

Very complimentary comments!
