San Jose Sharks Sign Former Penguins' 2nd Rounder to PTO
The San Jose Sharks are signing D Scott Harrington to a PTO, per Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
Harrington holds 210 games of NHL experience, split between Pittsburgh (10), Toronto (15), and Columbus (185). Last season was spent largely in the AHL, where Harrington scored just 7 points and sported a -25 in 50 games for the Cleveland Monsters. He scored just one assist in 7 NHL games in '22-23.
Of all the names in PTO reports this morning, Harrington is probably the most apt for a tryout. Danny DeKyser, Calvin de Haan, Zach Aston-Reese, and Jimmy Vesey all signed PTOs today too, and of that bunch Harrington would probably be the last kid left to be picked at recess.
The Sharks currently have 4 left-shot defensemen on their NHL roster, plus a couple in their AHL system, so the Harrington move is a little puzzling. Although, you can never staff enough defensemen, I guess? Anyway, the Sharks aren't really doing much this season, so why not add a 29-year old defender who played 7 games last year?
