It's not so much neutered as getting some longevity. Most players who fight a lot have a good year or two and then either fight a lot less or become less effective. Xhekaj already injured himself in a fight, it may not be something he can continue to do long term.I don't see the point of Xhekaj staying in the minors, he went there, produced offense, cut his penalty minutes down and helped to turn around a floundering team. They have gotten better goaltending which is also a big factor but his leadership and ability have been huge. If he comes back and falls out of favor with MSL we should trade him because I would rather see him go elsewhere instead of becoming a neutered version of what he was.
