Playing career

Having been drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round, 54th overall, of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, Harrington made his NHL debut on December 18, 2014, in a 1–0 Pittsburgh overtime win against the Colorado Avalanche.[2]

On July 1, 2015, Harrington was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in a multi-player blockbuster deal for Phil Kessel.[3] Following the trade, Harrington impressed at the Maple Leafs' training camp, making the NHL roster for the opening night of the 2015–16 season. However, injuries plagued Harrington's season, and he would only play 32 games collectively for the Maple Leafs and their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Toronto Marlies.

On June 25, 2016, shortly after the conclusion of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, Harrington was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets (alongside a conditional fifth-round draft pick) in exchange for forward Kerby Rychel. (The condition of the fifth-round pick would have been satisfied if Harrington was placed on waivers and claimed during the 2016–17 season, which did not occur.[4])
