You think Harris is as smart and poised as they come?? I like Harris but he's not a play driver, he's not a creator, he brings nothing if he cannot be good defensively, that's why his size is an issue. Hutson's IQ is much higher, he's an absolute wizard compared to Harris, he'll be running a power play and be a point producer from the back. I don't think his size will be that big of an issue as some might think. There have been quite a few small NHL defensemen with successful careers.we'll see, the lack of weight/strength has been my biggest concern, his D is not as bad as some make it out, he's say better then Mailloux, Barron, etc.. but we see how much trouble an undersized Harris has had and he's as smart and poised as they come. He's really good at not getting smoked but also in staying within himself defensively as he knows where to be and what to do but the problem will be he must be with a Guhle type as he will struggle in the crease and along the boards, will need help there for sure but I bet he'll show he's smart enough to get the job done.
Will be very interesting to see how the Habs handle him and his TOI. They can not afford to make a mistake with him as no one has his PP QB abilities among our D prospects.
I had very low expectations until I saw those two games he played at the end of last season. It's all I needed now I'm a believer lol. It didn't take long for Wings players to already start backing off him after a few shifts because he made them look stupid a couple of times.
