Jordan Harris and Johnathan Kovacevic: Different Beginnings
Johnathan Kovacevic and Jordan Harris were both traded by the Canadiens in recent months.
The right-hander, Johnathan Kovacevic, was sent to New Jersey for a 4th-round pick in the 2026 draft, while the left-hander, Jordan Harris, was part of the deal that brought Patrik Laine to Montreal.
Both players are in different situations with their new teams. Jordan Harris hasn't impressed Blue Jackets management enough to play regularly, playing only four games so far this season in Columbus, and finds himself in a depth role.
In contrast, Johnathan Kovacevic has played in every Devils game this season and plays an important role in New Jersey's defensive brigade.
Both guys are in a completely different situation with their new teams.
