Ben Harpur: Released from PTO

The Panthers released Harpur from his professional tryout agreement Thursday.

Harpur inked a PTO with the Panthers on Sept. 10, but he was unable to land a spot on the team's Opening Night roster, even as the team deals with multiple injuries. The 30-year-old hasn't appeared in the NHL since the 2022-23 campaign, and he'll have to seek out other opportunities ahead of the 2025-26 season.
