Dallas Stars defenseman Thomas Harley has agreed to sign an eight-year extension with the club, a contract that features an average annual value just below $10.6 million, sources told ESPN’s Emily Kaplan on Tuesday night.
The deal comes with a full no-movement clause past Years 1 through 3, sources told Kaplan, and secures a key cog in Dallas’ blue line as the Stars seek their first trip to the Stanley Final since 2020.
Harley, 24, a native of Syracuse, New York, has one goal and eight points this season heading into Dallas’ home game against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night. He skated in 79 and 78 games, respectively, for the Stars across the past two campaigns while posting a career-high 50 points last season.
Harley, whose parents are Canadian, received the call to join Team Canada earlier this year midway through the 4 Nations Face-Off. He was an injury replacement for Cale Makar, and Harley was with the club when it won the championship game in Boston. In the final, a 3-2 win over Team USA, Harley finished with an assist in 31 shifts that covered 21:56 of ice time.
