“Certified JAG. Just A Guy” - Steve Smith Sr. if asked about Jansen Harkins (probably)

Right up there with Jeff Toms for most unremarkable tenures with the Pens.

He'll get reclaimed by Winnipeg and they'll send him to the AHL.
The comment from Jets fans ended up being pretty accurate, he has a nice motor but he doesn't have the hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. He has a nice shot, good skating and plays a physical style, but he just doesn't know where to go in the NHL to have success.

Not a bad career for a JAG
>3M estimate gross earnings at age 26 per cap friendly (now this isnt fully accurate as he spent time on a 2-way deal in the AHL but he still is pretty well off)
Over 150 NHL games which isnt that easy to achieve.
He isnt good enough to be more than a 4th liner for a good team at the NHL but most teams rather go with younger in grown options

I thought he was far more serviceable than Nieto, Carter or even Acciari.

Seems to do a lot without really producing anything
Glad they gave it a shot

He was their best bottom 6 forward through 4 games and had zero points

Bottom 6 needs to be better. Harkins had a chance and didn't fit, so we will try someone new. Bring on Zohorna, Poulin, Puustinen, White etc.
I applaud Dubas for being proactive to change it up when it hasn't worked. Now waive one of Shea or Ludvig so we can bring up another bottom 6 forward and banish Carter to the press box where he belongs.

He wasn't making the Jets regardless of injuries tho. Hence why they waived him, they waived him last year also. They won't claim him. I'd be shocked
Le Magnifique 66
Let's Go Pens
For sure his penalty last night did him in. Maybe Dubas sending a message in the room to the bottom 6

Not if any other team put in a claim, then he has to go through waivers again.
It was clear from the beginning of training camp that Harkins and the Jets were done with each other, Jets aren't picking him up.

Yea.
Someone needed to get waived/changed. Unfortunately it was down between two guys.
I liked his pre season but he didn't do enough to keep him up.

Neither better nor worse. Just a bunch of fourth liners.
And yes, Carter is getting time. He has been fine given my expectations.. though nothing spectacular

Acciari is a proven player in the NHL over years that regulary is towards the top in hits and does really well blocking shots.
He's going to have a much much larger leash as he should coming to a new team.
