The Covid pandemic means that this has been a tough season for many prospects. However, for those who normally play in the OHL, things have been particularly difficult as their season never quite started. Oshawa Generals centre Brett Harrison is one such prospect. With the OHL season never starting, he headed to Finland to play in the KooVee Tampere system. He played one game for the big club in the Mestis, Finland’s second division. This gave Harrison experience playing against men. Harrison also played seven games for their Under-20 club. He scored four goals and five assists for nine points. Harrison also played for Team Canada at the IIHF Under-20 World Championships. He helped the team to a gold medal, scoring two goals in the seven-game tournament.

Remember that the comparison is style only.... not talent or career projection.

 

[rocketdan9]

Hopefully his skating can keep improving

That will unlock things for Brett.

I like how he plays with his headup. Calm in tight, able to pick corners

Jimmy was talented enough and had great size. The issue was commitnent. He has said publicly many times that his partying habits sunk his career.

Seems like he's got the head, and the calmness for sure... pair that with improved skating and that could be very nice

One of only 3 ohl rookies to score at least 20 goals

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

This is a steal

If Dom likes it, I like it.

He'll be competing with Marchand for worst eyebrows on the team lol

[arider1990]

The more highlights I see the more I like this pick. He is willing to go to the net and has a sneaky good shot.

 

[Beesfan]

Very smart to pick out of the OHL. A lot of potential first and second round talent is likely dropping for lack of games played. This kid seems to have the tools and history of a high pick. Look forward to seeing his development.

Jimmy Hayes, Right Wing, retired (Chicago, Florida, Boston, New Jersey)

Yeah, I’m just going to ignore that comp.

From what I read, he doesn’t sound like Jimmy anyways. Yeah, he scores around the net…which Hayes did once or twice…other than that.

This kid gets in on the forecheck and works…that’s the direct opposite of Hayes.

 

[BronxBruin]

He wasn't invited to Team Canada's summer camp which likely makes him a longshot for this year's WJC.

 

[DKH]

Seems like a solid pick. Welcome to Boston Brett!

Really good pick thought he could go late first

 

[rocketdan9]

Looks like a heavy heavy shot. Looks like has above average straight line speed

 

[rocketdan9]

Really good pick thought he could go late first

If it wasn't for covid season cancellation...who knows. Harrison is still very young. It was good to see he was part of that U18 Canada gold winning team

 

[DKH]

I guess he's not afraid to go to the net lol

Yup

listened to podcasts and read a bunch of stuff and he was a guy speculated if he plays full season in Ottawa OHL he could have skyrocketed up prospect list
