D Thomas Harley - Mississauga Steelheads, OHL (2019, 18th, DAL)

[Kcb12345]

Didn't go particularly well I think it's safe to say, but that's not entirely his fault. The entire team was bad. Tough first game to come into.

Disappointed they didn't put him on the powerplay at all, even when the team was losing 4-0. Just bad coaching as usual for the Stars

I thought this goal was just a lucky couple of bounces off an attempted pass back, but it turns out, he was actually trying to bank it in after seeing the goalie overplay Harley's previous trip behind the net (still took some lucky bounces, though ).

How was his season??? Strictly stat watching it looks pretty impressive for his first pro season with 25 points in 38 games

Anyone see him play?? When do you guys figure he will be an NHL regular??

I saw him a couple of times. He looked impressive- one of the better AHL players I saw. Reminds me of Chychrun, a little bit.

He had a good season, COVID hurt a lot of players development and progress but I think COVID was great for Harley. He got into the AHL a year early and propelled his development.

In a normal season, he would have been bored dominating the OHL a league he has already outgrown. Getting into the AHL this year gives him a leg up on making the NHL next season.

Thomas Harley finally got called up yesterday! Here is one analyst's opinion of his performance last night:



What do you guys think of Harley nowadays? People have been going back and forth on him for a number of years, but he has overall been held in high regard. He seems somewhat blocked on the current Stars roster, but maybe he can break through for the rest of this season and probably for the entire season next year. His offensive output in the AHL seemed to decrease a bit this year, but I have heard it was due to him working on his defensive game. Does anyone have any additional insight?

 

[Dr Pepper]

He's been marinating for a while with Texas, seems to have helped his development.

Hopefully by next season he's a steady top-4 option for Dallas.

I didn't really notice him last night, which I think is a good thing. No costly errors, turnovers, anything like that.

Has always stuck out to me when I’ve watched him in the A. Would’ve been up in the NHL on many other teams already.

There are prospects I remember all my life though some have changed; some forever not for better; some have gone and some remain; all those prospects have their talents with defenders and forwards I still can recall; some are buried in the minors. In my life I’ve cheered for them all.

Great pass by Harley:

 

[Dominance]

Harley is a f***ing stud who has been somewhat forgotten about while Dallas was playing it slow with him. I think he’ll be a top-4 mainstay for them by this time next year.

 

[57special]

Yup. Yet another reason why they didn't re-sign Klingberg(besides the fact that he is shit).

 

[BigTomBomber]

was very good in the playoffs and has a nice start to the year with 7 goals despite missing some games. Likely to be regularly paired with Miro soon so expect his numbers to increase

Appears to be a solid mid 1st rd pick

 

[Dominance]

Seems like a matter of time before he sticks with Heiskanen, and then you’re probably looking at Dallas’ top pair for the next decade. Kid does it all.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Continued his hot streak last night, potting the OT winner against Seattle, off a nice feed from Duchene.

He's getting more and more comfortable out there.
