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

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

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.

Not unlike Davidson?

Harris has a bit more polish IMO, on his puck skills especially. Davidson is more of a north/south keep it simple type.

I didn't get to see too much of him this year, wasn't overly impressed, keep in mind he turns 21 a week into next season. I thought he looked quicker at camp though, he needed it as I liked him in the USHL (he was teammates with Jack Smith) as he works hard and had a solid physical game but just looked too slow imo. Now that he's got more speed, we'll see what the Habs want to do with him after next season.

I can see a breakout season of 25+ goals.

Harris with another goal. Denver up 5-1 after 2 periods. Both of his goals are on the PP.

Does Harris have a legit chance at NHLer. Late round pick

I definitely think so, but I'm an optimist.

depends on your definition of legit chance but until the speed/skating improve I would say no. But with prospects it's always about progress or a lack of so you just have to give it time to see how things unfold. If he can keep progressing then who knows.

At least he does have a skill of scoring around the net.. that's something we've always lacked, which is why I like the fit for Kapanen as that's where he does most of his damage.

Still a massive long shot, but he does bring something that not a lot of others in the pool currently do.

Plus he works really hard, which is an often overlooked quality that helps a lot getting to the show.

Harris is a better skater than Davidson. But Davidson plays a heavier game.

They way he skates, anything is possible.
