Guhle Has Inside Track On NHL Job, But Xhekaj Not Far Behind

Guhle has inside track on NHL job, but Xhekaj is not far behind. Justin Barron's greatest advantage is that he's a right defenceman on a roster that needs to fill that position.

Guhle is in the running for a spot on the Montreal Canadiens' team. He was paired with David Savard during the scrimmages on Friday. Head coach Martin St-Louis is confident that Guhle will play in NHL. Gu hle's biggest weakness is his timing. He will probably spend the entire season in Montreal. Xhekaj is not far behind. The team needs players that can play through the muck without ruining their confidence. They need players who can be calm and composed. Guhl's skating is excellent.

Arber Xhekaj impressed St-Louis with his performance in the development camp. He didn't throw a single hit. Xhkeaj is looking to challenge Guhle for a spot on the blue line. He is still a long way from winning, but he is showing good skills. St.Louis believes X hte game is about controlling the aggressiveness. It's still Gu hle's spot to lose.
