Scouting Reports
Elite Prospects: Harris looks to punish opponents with and without the puck. Without it, he throws crushing hits, subtle nudges, and always gets in the way. With it, he does those same things while manipulating opponents to create lanes to the net. He prefers to slow down, drawing defenders towards him, then passing to the open teammate in the slot. With speed and agility as weaknesses, Harris usually makes his plays inside a lengthy glide. When defenders don’t allow that, he lacks the pace and adaptability to overcome. Well, he did for most of the season. A late-season viewing that showed more distinct variation in pace and in-motion skill suggested improvement.
McKeens: Harris is a competitive winger who improved his on puck play this year to become a more consistent offensive play driver. He has soft hands, and this helps him to finish off a lot of plays near the crease that his hard work affords him. His off-puck play remains a bit inconsistent and we wish he were a better skater for an average sized player, but he does have some intriguing skills. Harris is in his final year of draft eligibility and is headed to Denver.
