The combination of the fact that Harrison is 6-3, very fast, extremely physical and a hard hitter, and smart in terms of positioning means that he'll likely become a good 4th liner, and has the personality to be a fan favourite. He's never going to be confused for a top line guy, but will be an important depth guy.
Teams that have been successful over the past half decade have had players that were physically imposing and hit everything. That's basically Harrison's playbook.

I can understand what you're saying, but keep in mind that this kid hasn't even played a college game yet. Stating that he will be a guaranteed NHLer based off of one development camp is a littler premature. He has the potential and I like how he plays a lot, but he has a long ways to go before he's suiting up for the Flames.
