According to multiple draft pick value charts, the difference in value between the 8th overall pick and the 24th overall pick is equivalent to a late first rounder. I highly doubt Harris has that sort of trade value right now. Even if he did, the Kraken have a full blue line at the moment and will likely want to keep a starting spot open for Ryker Evans to continue his development, so I can't see them being all that interested in Harris. The Kraken are better served sticking at 8 and adding another top prospect to their pipeline than moving down 16 spots just to add a defenseman they don't really ned.

Edited Apr. 29 at 12:31 p.m.. Reason: added explanatory phrase

Quoting: KrakenTheCode

Exactly what I was going to say. (The difference between #8 and #24 is #23 on the most recent draft-pick-value chart I use.) I'll go further than your last sentence by saying Even if you assume that the prospect selected with #24 turns out to be a middle-6 forward and Harris turns into a perfectly acceptable second- or third-pairing defensemen, the two of them collectively probably won't have the same impact as the prospect chosen at #8. (F Helenius? C Catton? LD Dickinson? RD Parekh?)

Yeah this guy continues to make this trade. I’m sure he just likes the prospect but I don’t see why Montreal GM would ever be okay with this lol
