To me the Harrington deal, while it may be high, it’s maybe only 0.3M high? It seems like a small price to pay to have someone reliable available to eat up 15-16 minutes an not get exposed whenever he may be needed. I definitely think he would get claimed by any number of teams desperate for help with D depth. Even retaining a small percentage of that makes it a desirable contract that someone would trade for. He has quietly gotten better year after year after leaving Toronto.
That sounds about right for Harrington, and about right for what he can bring as a steady 6/7 D-man. Maybe I'd say .5m too high. The issue I have is that Harrington ought to be more like our #8 or #9D. I think Kukan and Peeke are about as good regularly and happen to have the tools to grow into something better.
