Montreal Canadiens Trade Debate: Struble vs. Xhekaj
About this episode
Who’s the odd man out on the Montreal Canadiens’ blue line? 👀
In today’s episode, Shaun Starr and Marco D’Amico break down the crowded Habs defence and what it means for the team heading into the next phase of their rebuild. With reports that Kaiden Guhle is not available in trade talks, the focus shifts to others:
➡️ Is Jayden Struble the odd man out?
➡️ Could Arber Xhekaj be the piece that brings real value back?
➡️ Which defenceman makes the most sense for Kent Hughes to move — and what could the Habs expect in return?
We dive into each player’s role, performance, value on the market, and how the Canadiens’ long-term plans on defense could shape the next big move.
If you’re a Habs fan or follow the NHL trade market, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
