Kent Hughes reportedly refused a major trade offer for Xhekaj and details are revealed

We just learned that, following his reassignment to the Laval Rocket, numerous NHL teams immediately called Kent Hughes to try to acquire Xhekaj from the Habs.

Behind the scenes, it's suggested that the Sheriff's value is at least a first-round pick, and that's what was offered.

Kent Hughes has thus received offers for Xhekaj, but he quickly refused them all.

This confirms that Xhekaj is still 100% in the organization's plans and that Kent Hughes absolutely does not want to trade him. Good news!

This also confirms how unique Xhekaj's profile is and how much other clubs would like to have him with them.
