Fresh off a career year which saw Thomas Harley put up 15 goals, 47 points, and a +28 plus/minus in 79 games played, the 23-year-old has signed a two-year contract extension worth $4.0M AAV ($8.0M total). The towering 6'4" defenseman was Dallas' 2019 1st-round pick (18th overall) and is expected to take another step forward in 2024-25 after averaging only 21:01 TOI/GP in his first full campaign last season.
Harley has not played since November 12, when he exited the game with an upper-body injury, and will be back in the Stars lineup on Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knight. In 14 games, Harley has five points (3G / 2A) and will replace Joel Hanley in the lineup if he can play.

Joel Hanley replaced Harley in the Stars lineup on Tuesday and is expected to do so again on Saturday. In his first season as a full-time NHLer, Harley has five points (3G / 2A) in 14 games.

Harley had 10 goals, 34 points, 24 PIMs and a +19 plus/minus through 66 games with the Texas Stars (AHL) and will make his 2022-23 NHL season debut with Dallas Monday vs. Nashville. The 21-year-old has a goal, three assists, and a -4 plus/minus through 34 games played previously in the NHL.
Harley was set to play more meaningful minutes in 2022-23, but the acquisition of Nils Lundkvist pushed him back to the AHL. Harley had 11 assists in 27 AHL games and four points (1G / 3A) in 34 NHL games a season ago.
Both Harley and Riley Tufte were recalled from the AHL and travelled to St. Louis but it's unclear if either will play on Friday. Harley has no points in four career NHL games.
Harley was the No.18 pick in this summer’s NHL Entry Draft. Harley is still in Stars’ training camp but it seems likely that he will be heading back to the Mississauga Steelheads of the OHL. The 6-foot-3, 188 lbs. defenseman had 11 goals and 47 assists (58 points) in 68 games with Mississauga last season.
