With Nick Abruzzese and Jordan Harris set to make their NHL debuts tonight, Jason Bukala provides a scouting report on both players and looks at what they could bring immediately to the NHL.
I’m not sure I have enough room in this space to describe the kind of player the Senators are adding to their roster of talented young players.
He will produce on the power play and also be called upon in key defensive zone scenarios. He also possesses a sneaky physical element. Opponents best not sleep on him when entering his lane. He was used in all situations at the college level , but he won’t be a candidate to run the PP for the Habs. Look for Harris to, eventually, become a two-way defenceman who can slot into the same kind of role that the recently departed Brett Kulak was playing.He makes sound decisions with the puck and outlets responsibly. His jump to small area space is solid. He's not exceptionally fast in open ice, so it will take him some time to adjust to the speed of the NHL game.
