Projecting Thomas Harley's Next Contract with the Dallas Stars

As the Dallas Stars continue their quest for their first Stanley Cup of the 21st century, they have an important player on their team that will need a new contract in the offseason. 22-year-old Thomas Harley is having a remarkable breakout campaign, going from just six games played in the regular season in 2022-23 to being a quality first-pairing defenseman in 2023-24. A restricted free agent (RFA), Harley and the Stars will have a lot of time to negotiate what his deal should be. Considering how well he played, he could be due for quite the sum of money – something a Cup contender like Dallas does not have a lot of.
