According to what reporter Marc-Antoine Godin of The Athletic reports, one of the Habs' top defensive prospects, Jordan Harris, is reportedly close to a deal with the team. Once Harris' college team is eliminated, the Habs and the young defenseman will announce the signing of his first professional contract, securing his rights for the future.
This will be a great acquisition, especially since there were recent rumors that the CH would lose Harris "for nothing", but the arrival of Kent Hughes changed everything.
Jordan Harris, a 2018 3rd round pick, could become an unrestricted free agent and work out a deal with the NHL team of his choice if he doesn't sign a contract with the Habs by August 15.
