Following last night's duel between the Montreal Canadiens and the Carolina Hurricanes, there is increasing talk of a personnel move.

Arber Xhekaj with the Habs and Justin Barron in Laval?

This is what many are demanding, for two reasons.
Firstly, because of this:
« There were four Habs players on the ice including Suzuki, Guhle & Harris & the only one who confronted Stefan Noesen after he hit Juraj Slafkovsky in the head was the shortest guy, Cole Caufield.

That was just a sad response by the team tonight.»
Secondly, because Barron had a very difficult game. He is struggling to find some consistency and could benefit from a bit more time in Laval.
So, this will be a development to watch over the next few hours, but don't be surprised if it's eventually announced by Kent Hughes.
And you, would you make this personnel move?
