He had 2 seasons under his belt while being only 22 years old and hit like a truck which still has value around the league it seems. NYI also overpaid. He wasn't worth that much.
Get the impression that the argument is that the two players are vying for the same first round pick. Think there are few to go around. Different player different skill set offerings. For Harris and the rest young cadre it is about health and development this year. The team gets both then filling out the roster can start next year and they will have the assets to do so.It is an absolutely huge difference. It's the difference between a guy who is physically imposing on the ice vs a guy who gets completely pushed around and framed out. They're on complete opposite ends of the spectrum of effective size. The difference doesn't get much more pronounced than that.
What exactly is Harris so good at that Habs fans think he's better than, and worth more than Romanov? Other than...still playing for the Blue Blanc et Rouge?Seriously...what are ya'll seeing there, or is this a fancystats thing? Where Harris comes out looking "decent" in the distortions of a bad team, relative to someone like Savard getting catastrophically caved in drowning in the toughest minutes?
Because so far as i've seen, Romanov does everything at least as well as Harris if not better, while also having that major size and physicality advantage. The one thing i'd maybe give Harris the edge is in his first pass. But aside from that...Romanov played a Top-4D role with a raft of fairly tough minutes and a ton of PK duty on a better, very nearly playoff team and handled them pretty well. He also has the more dynamic skillset both physically and offensively. Harris played a nebulous softer Top-4ish role out of necessity on an injury riddled D-Corps.
Honestly...if you threw up a poll between Romanov and Harris, it'd probably be locked for lopsided results within 48 hours.
Like i said above...just keep Harris. See what he turns into, if there's any more there. He's not going to be worth much as a standalone unless he really solidifies himself as a rock solid, Top-4D on a contender sort of player. Even then, he's what...basically a Sam Girard? You're just not going to get much value for him at this point, certainly not what you think he's worth, if you believe he's a more valuable piece than Romanov. Just let it ride.
Talking about worthless...do you actually think you are making a point? Did you actually read what you wrote?
Why assume that other prospects will bust vs Harris developing?
the same poster was praising romanov as a skilled top 4 or even first line d, who hits like a truck, before he got traded.It is an absolutely huge difference.

Lol, it was your worthless point that I paraphrased and that you’re now agreeing is worthless. Buy a clue.
If Romanov was that much better. Advance stats would be in his favor, which is not the case.
Fow now. I am saying Harris trends to be a similar type of very intelligent defensive shutdown dman
He was quite solid as a rookie. I'd rather give him another year or two to see how he grows.
Romanov 0.29ppg playing for a playoff team
This year for the Habs is about getting the health issues of the last couple years under control and development. If they can get success at both then they can start to make trades to fill holds based on need. They could be a team that will surprise this year.
I like that these are recycled arguements you used for Romanov when he was the one wearing a Montreal jersey. Not long ago he was "Your Ekholm" or "closer to Seider than it would seem" and lastly my personal favorite:
