Harrington is too old to be leading by example and yet here he is with 9 points in 7 games during preseason. Sometimes you need to let those young guys know that anything is possible if you put in the effort and go to work. If Harrington can put points on the board with half a knee and an injured back (from carrying in game 7 of the s60 finals) then surely the spring chickens that Edmonton is full of can carry him for the regular season and keep his career chugging along. That being said he is of course always making sure to be there for the young guns when they are training so that they don't make the dumb mistakes Harrington already did when he was starting out. Harrington remembers how important it was to have a veteran presence guide you along in those first key years in the major leagues.
