I dont really see it personally since Mete is a pure north south type of puckmover while Harris is more East West... Harris has great mobility, but doesnt have Mete's elite straight line speed... Mete is extremmely strong for his size, has great gap control, defends extremely well on the rush, plays with a really high pace and is pretty sharp at everything he does... I dont see that level of sharpness and accuracy in Harris, on the other hand, Harris has better hands and is more creative in the off. zone...
Still, I like Harris alot and he sure has potential, I just think kids like Norlinder, Struble have more tools to work with going foward...
I never thought of Mete as extremely strong for his size, but Harris is so smart defensively, he plays with so much poise. Norlinder has way more offensive skills but his defensive game and IQ can't hold a candle to Harris's. His offensive game though is clearly his bread and butter. Struble isn't anywhere near where Harris was last year and that's with having a major advantage of size/strength over him. Struble's defensive game and IQ are far from Harris's but he's got the physical tools and offensive tools that Harris just doesn't have.
Harris and Mete both are undersized with great mobility, skating, both are at their best in the defensive zone, neither has a big shot but can move the puck. Both smart players at both ends. I think they are a lot a like.
