Laval Rocket: Game #29 vs. Syracuse Crunch (Laval Wins 3-2. Kaskisuo With a Great First Impression)

[Habs]

None of our defencemen are faultless. Harris brings above average mobility to our back end which he uses to interdict opposing forwards skating through the neutral zone and attempted passes in defensive zone. Harris’ superior skating ability allows him to transport the puck from our defensive zone and to support our forwards. He’s not a physical player but neither are a host of other smallish defencemen who are currently thriving for other teams in the NHL. Xhekaj, who brings toughness, intimidation and an elite shot still has trouble making the right defensive decisions. And, as can be seen watching Laval’s games, he remains a turnover liability.

I think other teams value Harris higher than many posters here. That appreciation will turn Harris into a valuable trading chip this year or the next.

I think he's a dime a dozen dman, a bit bigger version of Mete, nothing more. For some reason I really don't like him, I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm just unable to swing my opinion on the guy. He's really weak on the puck, panic's under pressure and his shot is laughable. I think you can find a Jordan Harris anywhere , on any team in the NHL in their prospect pools. There aren't many Arbs around though, from what I see.

I tried to like the kid, but I don't see anything special here at all. we will have to agree to disagree on this one

Shawn is tough as any guys I know. Some probably just underestimate him because of his height but I never saw him lost a fight

agreed. was impressed with his resume. Why did brisebois trade so much for Jeannot? could've just promoted this kid to the 4th line. trade him to the habs

A rather inconsequential matter to be in disagreement over. Harris is no future core player. But on this talent challenged team he may prove to be an effective ‘’bridge’ player until superior prospects arrive.

Yep and give time for Xhekaj and maybe Barron to develop in the A.

I still think when the time comes he will, like Kulak before him, garner a higher return than many expect. Competent, mobile and inexpensive defensemen have value.

Shawn didn’t loose that fight

yes, he was the best fighters in his QMJHL years. I actually wanted the Rocket to sign him

He got whacked. Like three times in the face with great jabs. He didn’t lose because he didn’t fall, but he got whacked. His face can tell ya. Was cut in two places.

X took one on the sniffer at the start and it made him wobbly. I think its fair to say it was a tie. Impressive by Shawn.

Unfortunately he makes Gallagher look fast, I think his NHL odds are very close to zero.

Man you are consistently the worse skating evaluator ive ever seen.

Gignac looks like he could play 4 in 5.
