Player Discussion Jordan Harris part 2

[26Mats]

We only have 2 good RD prospects. One of our LD will have to move to the right.

Kovacevic is a good bottom pair prospect.

Also, we can always find bottom pair dmen on the ufa market or trade market. We don't necessarily need a young RD in the system.

I'm expecting us to draft either Reinbacher, Dragicevic, or Sandin-Pellika with Florida's pick.

But I also think we'll trade Harris as part of a Dubois package.

Great article on him in La Presse. So mature for his age.

He's 25. Not a prospect. And not very good.

Not sure what your definition of prospect is, but as a 25 year old he's not too old to be part of the future - if he can establish himself as a bottom pair guy. This is only his first year in the NHL. We'll see if he has room to grow his game.

Prospect: def: the possibility or likelihood of some future event occurring.

He's an ok #6-7. I don't see anything else developing in him.

I don't see Harris as a part of the future Habs D core. Habs can do better.

Agreed, package him in a deal for PLD or Chychrun.

Not that I'm in love with him, but I could see him sticking around just because he's probably gonna remain cheap for a while.

Ok, but if he's a #6 on the right side, and if Barron and Mailloux pan out to be top 5 RD's, the right side is set for the next 10 years.

Give the cap you can't have 6 top 4 dmen.

Even as a cheap #6 I think we can do better. He's ok defensively I guess, but has no offense to speak of. Even his first pass is iffy. Maybe if he was tougher and fought sometimes I could see it, but he's just bland.

 

[SupRocket]

Seems like it's for 1.4mil/year. That's outstanding value imo.

Edit: somehow missed the announcement thread lmao, friday mornings are rough

 

[RC51]

I really like this. This opens up doors. first Harris is young and still has a good upside.
1.4 per is good for the habs and also good for any trade asset. You never know what causes whats needed to get a really good asset you need. Harris becomes a good second player to a trade Hughes wants to make. Look I dont know anything but Harris at 1.4 is an open door just in case. Its a good deal for the habs just as much as it might be a good deal for other clubs. So the extra bottom line is Harris expendable if needed? its xhekaj that moved up the chart for sure bumping Harris 1 slot down.

Montreal Canadiens sign Sean Farrell to three-year entry-level contract | TSN

The Montreal Canadiens have signed forward Sean Farrell to a three-year, entry level contract, general manager Kent Hughes announced on Sunday. The deal carries an average-annual value of $1,158,333, the team said in a release.

For such a young player, Harris is quite mature and well spoken. He's been relatively candid on topics such as racism and the whole thing surrounding pride jerseys. He's a good guy to have in the room and if he sticks around long enough I can see him wearing an A (whether he does stick around long enough is another question due to our depth at LD).

Extremely intelligent. Underrated value imo, because its not something many people think about when it comes to actually playing hockey. Makes you a better Pro and I think that leads to being a better player in many ways.

Unfortunately with the logjam of same-ish aged young/skilled and close in level D. I think one of him or Barron gets moved sooner rather than later. Barron has played his way ahead of Harris in the who I think would be moved first category for me. Time will tell though. Either way, love this kid, and will be an absolute PRO in this league.

How would you guys see Harris developing over the next 2-3 years?

Any current NHL players as a comparison?

 

[1909]

I don't see Harris as a part of the future Habs D core. Habs can do better.

Harris is easily replacable on the left side. Matheson- Guhle and Xhekaj are all ahaead of him.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Harris is easily replacable on the left side. Matheson- Guhle and Xhekaj are all ahaead of him.

You can easily add Hutson, Engstrom and Struble at LD aswell. (Struble is more physical than Harris and I really like to have D like him. Xhekaj is a beast).

Harris and Dvorak seems like the obvious package for Dubois

He's a bland bottom pairing defenseman. If he's in your top 4 in the future your team is probably not good enough. Trade bait imo, no room for bland players.

I haven't watched that many games to be completely fair, but this stat line at his age seems already to be an above average bottom pair defensemen, especially on such a crappy team.

He is only 22 years old.

 

[FF de Mars]

Can we make a parrallel between Streit and Harris?

The eye test sees an undersized defenceman with not much offensive flair. I'm sure he's some people's cup of tea but not mine, I wouldn't chose him.

Streit had offense, Harris is more defensive.

 

[Zilo44]

I see a better Mete.

Would not mind to use him as a trade bait but would not mind to keep him either

Streit had offense, Harris is more defensive.

At Harris' age, Streit was still playing in Europe, and Streit only had 11 points in his rookie year (in 48 games). You can't compare Streit's zenith to Harris' dawn. Both are 5'11. I'm also drawing this comparison because Streit was never fully appreciated as a Hab, exactly like Harris.
