Waived: [PIT] F Jansen Harkins waived by the Penguins (cleared)

[seafoam]

I am almost wondering if there is going to be a swap of 2/3 players that were waived today (if they indeed do clear waivers).

Wouldn't be surprised to see Chevy claim him back

Where's everyone who was shitting on me and other Jets fans who said this guy wasn't an NHL player.

They were so keen to tell us how it was all because he wasn't used properly and would thrive somewhere else.

Turns out somewhere else also decided he isn't cut out for the NHL...

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Well that experiment ended quickly.

Does PIT really have better bottom-six options though? Are they still dressing Carter?

Probably not "better." I would say they have different skillsets at the overall level of impact that Jansen Harkins has. At least, that's all they've proved to be so far.

And yes. For whatever reason, Jeff Carter is still 4RW and PP2LW.

Playing 38 minutes for a Mike "I hate young players" Sullivan-coached team doesn't provide conclusive evidence for anything, one way or the other.

Dubas picked Harkins up, thinking he might help since the Pens have zero depth at forward aside from scrubs like Hinostroza, White, Pitlick (all in the AHL for now), and Sullivan said.... "what the hell is this?"

Harkins looked OK in his brief preseason here, but was invisible/useless -- like every other Pens' 3rd or 4th liner -- once the games began to count.

Looked good in the preseason, then seemed to pull his normal schtick in the real season and completely disappeared into the woodwork.

Just seems like one of those real AAAA type players. Enough to look good at the AHL level and preseason partial speed hockey...but just doesn't have the tools to keep up and make any kind of impact whatsoever at full NHL pace.

The kids on the Moose could use him around

Eric Comrie 2.0?

This sucks because he was so good in the pre season. Oh well, next!

Pre season stud for 3 years.

Of all the players I've watched in my many years as a Penguins fan he was certainly one of them.

that's basically what harkins does, goes all out for a couple of games but can't maintain it and becomes invisible

He will get claimed by WPG and sent down. Can go straight to the A.

Tag you are it…… Winnipeg will not claim him back. As he is on a 1 way contract…and WPG would have to pay the 700k American ( $925 Canadian) left on his Salary in real cash for him to play on the the Moose… (AHL)

He’s a good player on the Moose (AHL)…. Almost a point per game player last year… but his contributions are not worth the 700 K with attendance down …

Jets were glad he was claimed as it helps the bot
tom line for a player 3-4 spots away from being called up on the Jets depth chart on forward.

The $700k expense is not going to be on Pittsburgh NhL Cap hit…. But it’s going to be on the organizing balance sheet somewhere

Tag you are it !!!! No chair left for Pittsburgh to sit down when the song stops playing.

“You smelt it …. you dealt it”… you Got Harkens!

Pittsburgh can not dine and dash on this one…. Pay the 700k bill b4 leaving the restaurant.

Dubas still thinks he has Toronto Mapple leaf $…5 more trades and waiver claims like this …and he will get a call from upstairs about the inflated AHL budget of 4 extra million..,

 

[Syrinx]

He will get to tell his grandchildren that he played with Crosby/Malkin. That's pretty cool for him.

 

[66-30-33]

Nope, he cleared.

Seems like it. Just can't make the switch for some reason to the next level. I went to a Moose game last year and he was flying around, by far best player on the ice, playing 100%.

 

[RustyCat]

As advertised. A guy you really root for but leavings you wanting. I really wish he could put it together because he does have some great tools. You can see it at times and you get excited, but then he just doesnt execute then fades away.

"All in all...Fenway Sports Group is valued at nearly $8 billion."
