2021 NHL Draft Prospects: Brett Harrison is the strong, goal-scoring center every team is looking for on draft day

A former first-round pick in the OHL Priority Selection Draft, Brett Harrison is a player scouts have had their eyes on for a long time. A big body that can play down the middle of the ice, Harrison is a kid that brings a ton to the table but has scouts shying away from a first-round grade because of a perceived lack of speed.

Date of Birth: June 7, 2003

Position: C

Height: 6’2”

Weight: 185

Shoots: Left

Central Scouting (NA Skaters): 50

Elite Prospects: 85

HockeyProspects: 33

Bob McKenzie: 33

Dobber Prospects: 44

What makes Harrison so intriguing as a prospect is that he has all the tools to be an impact player in the NHL—if he is able to strengthen his skating just a little bit.
