Harrington has been a bubble prospect for me for a while, but I do appreciate his game. He’s built like a rocket launcher – he wants to send you flying any time he can. Harrington is no slouch offensively, either, putting up 56 points in 61 games on a Spokane team that often struggled to generate consistent scoring chances. He’s very dangerous around the net, and he’s flashy, too. I think there’s a clear path for him as an energy forward in the NHL who could step up into a bigger role if needed.

Chase Harrington is an interesting player to evaluate, as in his D-1, he played a complementary role with Spokane, where he scored 50 points, but this year, he was thrust into a role as Spokane’s #1 player, where he did not flourish as one would have hoped. However, Harrington’s skill set projects him as a complementary winger rather than a play-driving one. Harrington often tried to take over games, and more often than not, it did not work out in his favor. He is utilized best in the corners, diving into battles, battling in front of the net, and bringing an agitator aspect to his game.
