When you put it all together, it’s a pretty good player. I think he’s been doing a good job of meeting me halfway with his decision-making and his effort. Meaning giving him enough to show his assets. So for me, it’s just managing his ice time. “He’s got a lot of assets that can make him a valuable player for a coach. But now he’s playing more minutes consistently and you can see his play is reflected in that. I think the last three, four games he’s finally back in game shape because I know he missed some time (with injuries) and it’s hard to get in that game shape when you’re playing seven, eight, 10 minutes. “The past three or four weeks I really feel he’s been building his game. “I think when you do that, Armia has a chance to build his game up and I think he’s been doing that of late,” the coach said. Louis said he wants to give Armia consistent minutes in a consistent role. “I believe he was a first-round pick, right? And you can tell.

I got to watch him a little bit this year in some games (with Northeastern University, where Harris was team captain). “He makes reads, he gets up in the play and he also knows when to stay back. “For me he’s a solid defenceman,” Caufield said about Harris. All three will be back in the lineup against the Senators.Ĭaufield played with Harris on Team USA at the world junior championship. Harris, 21, was one of three rookie defencemen in the lineup, along with Justin Barron, 20, and Corey Schueneman, 26.
