Guess it wasn’t just the losing
Its more that the Habs have a boatload of good LD prospects so we need to make room. Harris is a great skater, good defender and has a good shot - but he gets knocked off the puck pretty easily.As a fan of Laine I don't really like the destination, but at least it's done.
As a fan of CBJ I feel this is pretty ok? 2nd round pick for a young defenseman with a 1.4M caphit for this season and next season. Harris has been thrown in every MTL trade suggestion so I suppose he's not super good, but hopefully he can be serviceable this season in the NHL level.
idk maybe i'm reading too much into this quote but to me this suggests that it was the losing actuallyGuess it wasn’t just the losing
This is almost identical to what PLD said.
The only difference is that PLD didn't have psychological problems. And we don't know the cause.This is almost identical to what PLD said.
One of best scorers in the game who hasn’t scored 30 goals in a season in his past 5 seasonsIsn’t bad isn’t exactly bar that should be set for a trade involving one of the best scorers in the game.
But I really just wanted a garage and I didn't have one. j/kidk maybe i'm reading too much into this quote but to me this suggests that it was the losing actually
Or this could be read as "I wasn't a big enough superstar in Columbus."
Ummmm... LA and Winnipeg have joined the chat.The only difference is that PLD didn't have psychological problems.
That aligns with the scouting report I read. He's solid at everything but not stellar at anything. Sounds just like a solid team guy.Hey blue jackets fans. Habs fan here. Just wanted to drop this here in case any of you were curious of the type of player Harris is.
First of all I just want to say Harris was probably the better of the bunch of young D the Habs have on their roster not named Guhle. Xhekaj adds different elements to the game but Harris has proven that right now, his game is much more steady.
Harris is a jack of all trades. Good skating. Good gap control. Very smart all around. When given the opportunity with bigger minutes, he's proven to be pretty good. He's very self aware of what he can and can't do and never tried to over extend himself where he's incapable. His transition game is perfectly acceptable but his offensive zone ability is lacking. He doesn't do anything risky but defers a lot and doesn't really create. Great supporting cast type of D man that will anchor a bottom pair in the future.
PS. You can go look back on your board, I called the Lindstrom to Columbus pick during last season, so give me my flowers lol
If seriously, PLD is a different type of player. We'll see how Patrik plays in Montreal. I'll wish him the best. But the chapter is over for us, we need to focus on the current roster.Ummmm... LA and Winnipeg have joined the chat.
I've been thinking he might look pretty good next to Gudbranson, could allow both to play to their strengths.Harris is a solid player. Definitely will be a player you like as long as he stays cheap. Could maybe develop into a Top-4 but his size will work against him against stronger scoring forwards.
Probably wins the Rocket.. but he wasn’t going to do squat for us. Let the locker room rejoiceI don’t really know what to say.. where have all the Paddy’s gone? He never really showed up here and for that, well what a huge disappointment. Biggest nothing burger ever
