Thomas Harley News

Set to be an RFA at the end of the season, GM Jim Nill ensured that Harley will be a Dallas Star for the foreseeable future after signing him to a massive eight-year contract worth nearly $85 million ($10.587 AAV). Harley caught national attention after being a late addition to Team Canada at the Four Nations Face-Off. The 24-year-old Harley was drafted 18th overall by the Stars in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and is coming into his own in his third full season at the NHL level. He has eight points (1G / 7A) in 10 games so far this season.

Harley missed Friday's practice due to illness and will be a game-time decision on Saturday. The Stars were hopeful that he would be in the lineup after yesterday's practice session.

Harley is battling an illness but is not expected to miss any time. The 24-year-old Harley scored 15 or more goals in each of the previous two seasons and is off to an excellent start in 2025-26, scoring six points (1G / 5A) in his first four contests.

With an illness circulating the Stars locker room, Harley is one of several game-time decisions for the club on Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Harley did not play on Monday and could miss a second straight game on Wednesday. The 23-year-old is averaging 22:18 time-on-ice and has 14 points (4G / 10A) in 14 games this season.

Harley played a season-high 27:46 in Saturday's 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues but is battling an illness that will keep him out of the lineup on Monday against the Washington Capitals. The 23-year-old Harley is averaging 22:18 time-on-ice and has 14 points (4G / 10A) in 29 games this season but has been held off the scoresheet in five of his last six games.

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.
