Jordan Harris was the one sacrificed in the trade that sent Patrik Laine to Montreal.

The young defenseman seemed to be behind several blue liners drafted in recent years, such as Lane Hutson and David Reinbacher.
Harris reacted for the first time since the trade that moved him from the Canadiens to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
He was in shock because he thought he would be building his career in Montreal, but business is business.
«I was on my way to HomeGoods to pick up a table we had bought the day before with my mom's SUV. Then, I got a call from Kent [Hughes], and we talked for 5-10 minutes. He then told me that the trade call would come soon and that I would be traded to Columbus in the Laine deal.»

He was a third-pair defenseman with the Canadiens. The Jackets are taking a chance on a defenseman who moves the puck well in his zone, has an interesting skating ability, and some offensive potential.
In the end, it's a significant gamble for both organizations.
