Wi-fi killing it in Laval after a slow start — now has 8 points in 10 games

“The kid has upside for an undrafted kid, it’s incredible he slipped through the cracks. It’s really tough to understand,” Houle said. “He has some really nice offensive qualities. His wrist shot is elite, and for a big man, he can move. The Canadiens got lucky. That kid’s a first-rounder, so it’s like having a first-round pick fall in your lap. We had (Justin) Barron here, and he’s just as good as Barron, who was a first-round pick. I think he might even have more offensive skill than Barron. For me, when you look at them when they were both here, wow, this kid (Xhekaj) can be special.”

Unreal he goes undrafted with his skill set

Teams draft soft small finesse wingers every round but bypass WIFI

Teams are always looking for size and grit especially for the playoffs

Watched him in the O a few games and was delighted Habs gave him a shot

If he gets his head straight and plays a simple game he has a decade career ahead of him

Struble and him as a pairing will be very unpleasant to play against.
