Utah Hockey Club
Utah emphasized improving its backend in the offseason, which led to the acquisition of John Marino and Mikhail Sergachev. Utah has been one of the league's surprising teams, but its blue line is starting to crumble. Sean Durzi and Marino are month-to-month after undergoing surgeries, and they'll need to find someone to step in for the interim. Enter Xhekaj, who can step in a bottom-pairing role for the league's newest team, sell the game, and become a fan favorite with his play style.
