Observations:

 

December, 2012 - Harrington has been named to the Team Canada final roster for the 2013 WJC. He has had a solid season as captain of the London Knights, with nine points in 33 games while playing a steady defensive game. While there is definitely a place in the NHL for players of Harrington's character and iattributes, he is unlikely to be a fantasty factor. Rich Dillon


May 2012 – Harrington is a rugged two-way blue liner that gives opponents fits to play against. He is a very mobile skater with a great deal of strength and quite difficult to hit off his skates. He is proficient in making the outlet pass, carrying the puck, and owns a good slapshot as well. Harrington plays a defensive style first, but if he can join the rush more and kick in his offensive potential, there is no question he’ll be in Pens line-up in a few seasons. He is currently enjoying a run at the 2012 OHL Championship and possibly the Memorial Cup too.

 

Fantasy Outlook: C+

Harrington has a solid two-way and is on his way to developing into top four-defensive defenseman in the NHL.
