The Rangers placed Harpur on waivers Friday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Scouting Report
His size (6'6", 231 pounds) makes him a force in front of his own net. Is not a bad skater for someone so tall, but he contributes very little offensively. Therefore, he has to play mostly error-free hockey in his own zone. He is more than willing to stand up for his teammates.
Long Range Potential: Huge depth defenseman.
