RJWantsTheCup Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Harpur has to be the biggest surprise of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 teach him to throw a helmet and then give him the C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonybologna Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Great signing honestly. He has been a real nice surprise and at worst he would be a league minimum paid 7th (probably what he'll be after the deadline anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 No problem with Harpur!! I actually think he's a pretty steady 6th D man. For that price??? Shit yeah!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I think he earned it just by his fantastic mocking of Giordano last night after Lindgren planted him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art20c Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Good deal. League’s minimum for solid third pair d man. Just for his sheer size alone well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Don't mind him here on a league minimum. Still, as it pertains to this season, I'd still like to see them add a Dman at the trade deadline, similar to how we got Justin Braun last year (wouldn't be opposed to just re-trading for him). I don't want us relying on Harpur in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he falters, replace him with Harpur, just as we replaced Nemeth with Braun after a few playoff games last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Good for him, he really surprised me and I was probably one of the first to turn my nose up at him. He's provided a solid presence alongside Schneider and his game is really simple, no-nonsense and he's fit in perfectly. Congrats, Ben. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Nice signing. Easy to get rid of if he goes down hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsm7302 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Dudes career was almost over after breaking his face in the preseason on a PTO. Happy to see him work out here; seems like a good dude and certainly has played a solid role on that rotating door on the side of Schneider.

The Dude Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 League minimum. Cool. He's been steady. Easy to slide him to the 7th D when ever they try Jones or Robertson. Pretty much spells the end for Hajek, whom I'm surprised isn't in Hartford on at least a conditioning stint, if not waived to be sent down. He hasn't played in like 2 months.

I would honestly make it Harpur's spot to lose in the playoffs unless the deadline pickup is more significant than a Braun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Lol I agree he’s been OK tho, but I also think we need a new 3LD before the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently after looking at these numbers........ he's at least cheap! nothing to really not like (because of the minimum salary), but it sure makes it seem like I've overrated him a lot based on the eye test. Hate when that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I don't really have much h problem with it. If nothing else, he's kind of steady and allows Schneider to do his own thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This honestly doesn’t feel right, but I guess it is lol. I must admit I’ve probably only watched ~50% of the games he’s played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpur's not a play driver. We know this. He's not a possession player. We know that too. But if when he's out there, nothing dangerous is happening....well...that's pretty much fine for a 3LD.
