I’m excited to see him away from Savard. That combo really didn’t work.
I think pairing him with someone a bit more mobile like Matheson or Carrier could do him wonders. Expecting a breakout year.
I’ve banged on about this before with these rankings, but they’re a lot closer in the voting than the final rankings make out. Xhekaj is 12th and Dobes is 18th, but here’s how that actually breaks down in terms of average rank for each player
Dobes 16.3
Struble 16.1
Engstrom 15.4
Beck 15.3
Zharovsky 15.2
Kapanen 14.7
Xhekaj 14.6
You can throw a hat over all of them and the specific order in that group doesn’t matter too much
I want him to play more, hopefully he improves his game enough…because I hate it when he’s out of the lineup. I feel other teams take liberties with our guys when he’s not in.

And that’s why we love him
