You misspelled Bruins

 

[Gravity]

Sucks if he wants out.

 

[Redux91]

Wow , definitely surprised lol.. hey @montreal , quit advising people eh! Look what you did!

He's trade bait now, get rid of him.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Sucks was one of my fav prospects to follow, he had a good shot here with our weak LHD but whatever

I'm sure he's a good kid but not going to get my hopes up that he signs with us anymore, so for that reason I'm going to write him off in my mind as a worthless asset that I hope we're able to return some value for

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Trade him in a package for Ekholm...trade him for Montour...whatever, just trade him now before other GMs figure out he's not gonna sign here...

 

[Supersonic]

Trade him now, he’s gone

 

[le_sean]

Probably tanked his value by saying he’s going back to school.

 

[Essenege]

Hate this. If the team wants to sign the prospect, they should be able to. I hate the the players have an « out » like this.

I don’t blame Harris. If you’re a A-/B level prospect, your opportunity to play in the show is partly dependent on the opportunity you’re given.

Now, he can sign with a weak/shallow defence team (can definitely still be the Habs) who will guarantee him an NHL roster spot. This might have more value down the line then the 1yr burned on the ELC

Edit : apparently it would be a 2yr ELC next summer. In that case, I’m not ruling out that official story that the kid didn’t think he would crack the roster next year, so opted for degree over money.

That what makes real capitalism (pure supply & demand economics) the best system mankind has seen thus far.

What would you want if Harris was your kid?

 

[The Great Weal]

I still think he's got good value. But if other GMs arent giving up much, then might as well keep him and hope he doesnt screw us.

GMs are only going to go after him if they have information through back channels that he will sign now.

 

[Le Tricolore]

People wanting to trade him just because he's going back to school are confusing to me. He's told the organization that he still wishes to sign with them once he's done school. If they feel like that's true, then no reason to trade the guy. If they're concerned that he actually doesn't want to be part of the the Habs, then sure, you move him, but my understanding is that that is not the case at all.

 

[dinodebino]

Does he have the dreaded Bâwstin accent?

 

[A55P2]

I'm probably in the minority, but I still have hopes he signs with us. For the moment, I'm inclined to believe him when he says he's still commited to us.

Or similar to Andy Fox if they can flip him for an asset to his desired location. See Canes acquiring Fox as part of Hamilton deal to flip him to NYR for an asset

Yeah, Nashville can acquire him and flip him to the Booins, where he'll experience the Caufield one-timers from up close!

 

[montreal]

as I said, if I was his advisor I would tell him not to sign, but going back doesn't mean he won't sign just hard to see how much better a situation it would have been for him with Chiarot injured. That said there's no harm in getting your degree, he does need to add mass and strength.

As for people saying trade him to the preds, there's little hope of that imo, unless he agrees to sign with them right away as they could be losing the BEST D prospect in the NCAA in David Farrance, I don't think they want to take another gamble without him agreeing to sign now. He would be a very nice replacement if they were to lose Farrance, which the rumors are they will cause he wants to sign with NYR but we'll likely find out more in the next week or two depending on how far BU goes.

But this also sucks for Struble, unless they put Harris back at RD next year, Strubble will be 2nd fiddle to Harris who will be the captain and likely top 1o finalist for the Hobey Baker.

 

[CoupeStanley]

We can still incentive him with the burning a year of ELC in late-march april, next season, no?

Problem, the moment is gonna be close to be UFA (next summer). His value gonna decrease a lot cause why giving an asset if that guy is going to be ufa? A team right now could acquire him and talking about his future. But more you will wait, more his value is gonna be worse

It’s good to be NYR

correct. I would think the Habs will know already if he's going to sign with them or just doesn't want to.

Sure, but that's why the team is in constant communication with these prospects. If they feel like he won't sign, then they'll do what needs to be done.

It seem to be a philosophy in US. Scholarship free instead of paying 40 000 a year, and you play hockey. His family should put a lot of pressure to finish his dregree and for his futur. In canada, it seem to be hockey first, school after. Opposite in US
