Your world frightens and confuses me
Gee big surprise. I knew he would be gone. Certainly an NHLer on the right team. Good luck Harkie!
I think Harkins turns in to a good NHL player. I think he is better than Appleton.

he was good for 2-3 games at a time, could never play well for longer then that and despite what people claim he's had plenty of chances here
If that is the case it says a lot about the upgrade of our bottom 6.
He never really got a chance to play with guys who were any good. I think Harkins could score 15 goals in the NHL. He was not going to do that playing with guys like Gustafsson, Kuhlman, AFJ or Maenelanen.
This is the first year we finally have a competent bottom 6
Best of luck Jansen!

Best of luck. Wonder if he's claimed again in 2 weeks
Fallout from the Dubois trade. Acquire 3 NHL Fs for 1 NHL F, something's gotta give on the roster construction.
Last year he played over 36% of the time on a Line with Lowry and Barron and spent another 12% with at least one of those guys on his line. He spent more time playing with Schiefele then he did AJF last year.
The narrative that he always had bad linemates is not supported by the facts.
I dont let the facts get in the way of a good narrative.

Well, the guy that said Toninato had a better chance of being claimed sure showed everyone. .
Good luck Harkins.
.Good luck Harkins.
I wish Harkins well. He would show some flashes but just never seemed to be comfortable with the Jets.
Certainly sucks for the Moose. I wouldn’t have minded him as the 13th forward over a guy like Viel, but won’t lose any sleep over it. I mean, something had to give with all the depth we’ve acquired for this season.

Good news for us on account of ditching a 1 way deal, good for PiTT as they get a roster player and great news for Harkins as he gets to play.

He's always had pretty ok results and could be a decent 3rd/4th liner. Last year his metrics when he was called up from the Moose were absolutely dynamite until he fell off a bit and then his spot was given to other guys. I don't mind losing him in waivers, I am just annoyed at opportunity cost of giving so many games to guys like Kuhlman and Maenalenen last season when those minutes could have been used to evaluate home grown talent like Harkins and Eyssimont.
Wishing him all the best, hope it turns out well for him. He has been an absolute pro through his entire time here and never publicly bitched or whined like many other guys.
