The Resume

    His style of play is considered too rough by hockey pundits.
    He was suspended twice during the 2021-22 OHL season for dirty play.
    He was passed over in both the OHL and NHL drafts, because scouts felt he was too small.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was born to a Czech mother and a Kosovan father of Albanian descent.
    He worked at a Costco in his hometown of Hamilton, Ontario when the 2020-21 OHL season got cancelled.
    He is the first player in NHL history to have a surname that starts with the letter X.
    He defied long odds and earned a spot on the Canadiens 2022-23 roster for opening night.
    His gritty hard-nosed style of play made him a fan favorite in Montreal.
