Expectations for Scott Harrington aren’t particularly high this year. The Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman hasn’t thrived the last two season’s, although this year, he should get an honest chance to become the team’s sixth defenseman.
With the departure of Ian Cole, the Jackets will look to fill their final defensive slot with one of three blueliners. Scott Harrington will get ample opportunity in camp, preseason, and perhaps the first few games of the season to see if he can fill the void. Also looking to take one of those final spots are Dean Kukan and Gabriel Carlsson.
