Prospect Info: [2023 - 133rd] Sam Harris (NCAA - University of Denver)

[Harry Kakalovich]

Him and Xhekaj are bottom 6 prospects. Not my fav type players to pick, but they can be useful too.

How many 100+ picks turn into top 6 assets? Are you saying we should have taken others who have top 6 potential in the 100+ area of the draft?

was watching one of his games vs Croteau this year, the video quality was total shit, Harris was kicked out of the game for a head butt as the two teams were mixing it up in the final seconds of the 1st, they put him out there in the final 8 seconds and when the puck ended up in the corner a near donnybrook broke out. Harris threw a punch that missed, the Waterloo player then sticked him in the ribs 3-4 times right in front of the ref, so Harris threw a head butt, it was kind of weak and didn't even connect.

Think I will try to catch another game of his as I don't know how much if any I will get to see him at DU next year since this past season showed it was impossible to see half of what I had hoped due to having such a massive amount of prospects currently and we have a shit ton of picks next draft so for now it looks like it will be a busy couple of years

Denver has started their camp. I believe in the first picture, it's Sam Harris. He wears #12, but I'm not sure if that's a 12 on the helmet or a 17, which would be Peter LaJoy.

 

[Wayfarer13]

I see Sam Harris has scored 7 points in his last 5 games. Thoughts?

 

[calder candidate]

Better than nothing but it doesn’t really move the needle… plenty of 20y are going good or better in the NCAA and won’t even sniff the NHL…

Sam Harris is a brilliant philosopher, yes. Quite the monotone voice, though.

Awesome if he can put up points in his beer league, but I'm not sure he could cut it in the ECHL. PTO?

Sam Harris would give great post game interviews...."On a continuum from the best possible Utopian scenario to the worst, most catastrophic scenario of well-playing we existed somewhere in the substrata......."

Good to see him pick it up. He's only a freshman so he still has a lot of time to develop.

From reports after the draft, he might have a future has a bottom 6 buzzsaw so he doesn't need to be an offensive dynamo to be in the NHL. He's bigger than RHP/Simoneau so if he can play the same type of game that'd be good.

At the start of the season he was glued to the 4th line. I think it was 3 weeks ago he earned promotion up to the 3rd line and the past couple of weekends he's up on the 2nd.

He's starting to figure it out and know what it takes to keep seeing these opportunities. Next season I think we'll get a much clearer picture of what he can do.

Future first line of the Habs: S. Harris - F. Eriksson - F. Xhekaj

did we draft harris because hes related to jordan?

They are not related.

Jordan is from Massachusetts.

Sam Harris is from California and somehow has Swedish nationality.

I liked Harris while tracking Buium, he plays a pro game, not the flashiest player but very effective and I would say above average in many areas.

There is no relation between Sam Harris and Jordan Peterson....

i hope he's not related to Kamala

i hope he's not related to Kamala

I doubt it, her father came from Jamaica in the 1960s and Sam Harris is very white.

[Saku K]

After a slow start stuck at 3 goals and 2 assists for 5 pts for a while, he has now 8 goals + 4 assists in his last ten games which looks good for him to be a great player next year for Denver.

In addition to his physical play despites his undersized frame, he might be a good enough for a contract down the road. They were a lot of depth on that u of denver team to overcome to make some noise and move up the lineup. Sometimes all a player needs is opportunities and looks like he's doing just fine with them. I hope he'll continue on his trend and becomes a go-to player for denver next year like he was in the USHL.

Looked good in the dev camp today but it might be because I had absolutely no expectation whatsoever.

He came on late in the year for Denver as well. He has good touch around the net.

It's reassuring. These prospects with generic names like Patrick Johnson and Jack Smith have usually busted in the past so I'm kind of always expecting it now.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

He had a very respectable freshman season, on a powerhouse national championship team where he wasn't getting a ton of opportunities early. He's definitely an under the radar candidate for a big second year, now that he's more established. He has a decent nose for the net and he seems to know how to complement the more talented players on his line. Keep an eye on that kid.
