<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>Teams have reportedly asked about Xhekaj and been told he is unavailable.
Makes sense. If he doesn't need to be showcased and is in the long term plans, being in the AHL has no impact on his value and plenty of impact on his development.

Knowing he isn't available, we can assume the competition for a LHD roster spot is down to who replaces Matheson (eventually).
We can also reasonably expect one of Harris, Struble, or Kovacevic will be moved to make room for Hutson, and Matheson or Savard may be available at the right price.

Long term, Xhekaj and Mailloux are being groomed as a potential pairing. Once we have room, expect them to be called up together to at least gauge their progress and viability in the NHL.</div></div>

Also noteworthy, Habs are looking for top six forward prospects that would fit in the group have to trade from depth in one area, to acquire assets in another
