The Boston Bruins were in the market for a free-agent defenseman this summer. General manager Don Sweeney brought back Henri Jokiharju to go with Charlie McAvoy, Nikita Zadorov, Mason Lohrei, Hampus Lindholm, and Andre Peeke.
With very little prospect depth in the minors, adding a blueliner made sense. The Bruins signed Boston native Jordan Harris, who is not only from the area but also played down the street from the TD Garden at Northeastern. When he found out the Black and Gold were an option, he was excited to potentially don the Spoked-B.

Selected in the third round, 73rd overall, by the Montreal Canadiens of all teams, Harris played 131 games over three seasons for the Bruins' heated rivals.
