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. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
