24-Year-Old DefensemanD
Dallas Stars
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Harley was a top candidate for regression after his 15-goal, 47-point effort in 2023-24, but instead, he elevated his offense slightly in his second full campaign. He racked up 16 goals and 50 points in 78 games in 2024-25, though his success largely came after Miro Heiskanen's severe knee injury in January. Harley earned 26 of his points over his last 29 regular-season contests. Having two defensemen at this caliber is a luxury for the Stars, and fantasy managers should be optimistic about Harley's long-term future. He'll be eligible for an extension ahead of restricted free agent status in 2026. Harley's efficient scoring from the blue line makes him a player to target in all fantasy formats, especially in leagues where plus-minus rating and/or blocked shots are counted. Read Past Outlooks

Inks long-term extension
DDallas Stars
October 28, 2025
Harley signed an eight-year, $84.7 million contract extension with the Stars on Tuesday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
ANALYSIS
Harley is now guaranteed to be a part of the Stars' long-term future. The 24-year-old defenseman's deal is front-loaded to some extent. Harley should continue to see top-four minutes and power-play time, making him a rising star in fantasy in the near future.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2020
Harley is the latest success story for the Stars' scouting department, as he broke out to the tune of 15 goals and 47 points in 79 regular-season contests last year. He started the campaign as a question mark to be in the lineup, and he ended it in a top-pairing role alongside Miro Heiskanen. Harley's 10.4 shooting percentage is a red flag -- as a defenseman, he's unlikely to sustain that level of production -- but what he loses in goals should be made up for with assists, blocked shots and a strong plus-minus. Experience will also help, as the 23-year-old blueliner appeared to fade late with just one goal and 16 points over 39 regular-season and postseason contests from the start of March. He'll be a popular sleeper pick given his role and his potential, so expect to pay a premium for Harley on draft day.
While he was limited to just two assists in six-regular season games, Harley stepped up and claimed a full-time gig in the playoffs, where he had nine points in 19 outings. If he can produce at a 35-40-point pace, he'll immediately be the Stars' second best defenseman in fantasy, and there's little concern about where his defensive game is at. He will still play second fiddle to Miro Heiskanen, but the Stars are a team that has enough balance up front that no defenseman is too far removed from talent. Harley has some serious sleeper upside in redraft formats entering his age-22 season, though he will need to prove himself over the course of a full NHL campaign to cash in on what appears to be a lot of promise.
Harley had another standout campaign with OHL Mississauga in 2019-20, producing 18 goals and 57 points in 59 contests. The 19-year-old blueliner also made his NHL debut during the postseason round robin versus the Avalanche. Harley, a first-round pick from 2019, is still junior-eligible, which makes it seem unlikely he'll see much action with the parent club outside of the preseason in 2020-21. However, a standout performance in training camp could put him in the conversation with Andrej Sekera and Mark Pysyk for a third-pairing job. Most likely, Harley is still a year or two away from being a factor for the Stars, though he appears to have all the makings of a high-upside blueliner for fantasy purposes.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Big extension coming?
DDallas Stars
October 28, 2025
Harley and the Stars are reportedly close to an extension in the neighborhood of eight years at a $10.5 million AAV, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
That would lock in Harley as a core piece of the Stars' roster, though it's also a deal that increases his cap hit by well over $6 million. Harley has emerged as a high-end scoring defenseman with 31 goals and 97 points across 157 games over the previous two regular seasons. He's produced eight points in nine outings to start 2025-26. Getting Harley in the fold long term is a smart move, but it may not leave enough money on the table for the Stars to keep Jason Robertson around.
