Is Thomas Harley still a thing? | Update: he is THE thing

[Satan]

So what is his estimated new contract going to look like?

Bridge?
Full term?

please hold - a HFStars poster will get Jim Nill on the horn for you stat

Hopefully they give him a contract similar to Klingberg's when he first signed. Its only one season so maybe we can get him locked up for 8 years at a pretty reasonable cap hit.

I think that Klingberg’s specific situation is definitely the reason his agent won’t let him agree to a deal like that.

 

[Johno]

Actually looking into it, his agent has done some reasonable contracts through the years. Notably Draisaitl, Laine, Chychrun. Happens to also be the agent for Wyatt, so looking at a prequel to how next summer will advance.

If you're Harley's agent you're showing up with Jake Sanderson's 8x8 deal as the bare minimum starting point. Harley's better and proven in the playoffs.

One really nice thing about Miro and Roope's deals is it set the ceiling for any of our upcoming deals. That will likely remain until Robertson ends up getting 10+M.

They can't absorb another 8m+ deal. Not for two+ years.

I would offer Harley 2x5m and a pony.

It’s definitely going to be in line with the likes of Evan Bouchard and K’andre Miller. Both whom had more proven track records in the NHL, signed for 2 years at around $3.9mil AAV. Noah Dobson had a very similar path in terms of production and signed for 3 x $4mil.

Given the protential rise in the cap, I’d wager he lands in the $3.95-4.2mil range for a 2-3 year extension.

This is also fair. I spent zero time researching comparables this time.

I think the goal is definitely a 3 yr deal to have it end when Seguin's cash comes off the books and no other major guys need to be re-signed.

Looking back at that draft, Harley was a steal. He was the 6th defenseman taken overall, and is currently the 2nd best d-man from the entire draft, the first of course being Moritz Seider (6th overall so we had no chance at drafting him). There's a few others with potential to pass him (Byram, York, Vlasic), but right now he's looking pretty good. Kinda crazy that Seider was projected to go around our pick @ 18, but Yzerman took a gamble that paid off. Even with hindsight, looking at that draft there isn't anybody taken after Harley that I'd have drafted over him.

Bring this beat back. I'm tired of posting in the contract thread. Day 1 of ____ of bumping this thread until it's locked

 

[Dynamite Time]

Harley looked good this 4 Nations thing; had some ups and downs but good game (international) experience for a young guy for our Stars.

 

[Azzuri]

Canada finally knows who this guy is. STUD

Funny that 2 years ago he couldn't crack the roster at training camp. He's come a long way.

 

[MBTendy]

Ya Harls was unreal for Canada in both games. He might have cemented himself on the Canada roster next year.

 

[Kipper 17]

Only played because someone got sick, then the coach plays him the third most minutes among defense. Great game by him.

Harley has the 4th highest total Defenseman gamescore this season behind only Makar, Hughes, and Werenski while being suppressed by his own coaching staff

The #1 thing is settled, what we should be talking about is a Norris finalist

 

[EXTRAS]

Makes you wish they had paid him a little more per season and gotten him locked in for more years. Like a 6yrx6m deal.

We didn't have the cap space to do that at the time without trading someone else or shedding cap some other way. He barely fit in @ $4m/yr
