The Dallas Stars got deals done with two defensemen on Tuesday.

After Esa Lindell agreed to terms on a five-year, $26.25 million contract extension, according to multiple media outlets, general manager Jim Nill announced that the Stars signed defenseman Thomas Harley to a two-year contract worth $8 million.

Lindell, 30, is heading into the final season of a six-year, $34.8 million contract he signed in 2019. The new pact will take him through the 2029-30 season.

Lindell recorded 26 points (five goals, 21 assists) while playing in all 82 games last season. He posted five points (three goals, two assists) and logged an average of 24:45 of ice time during 19 games in the playoffs.

Lindell has totaled 191 points (49 goals, 142 assists) in 604 career games since being selected by the Stars in the third round of the 2012 NHL Draft.

Harley, 23, is now under contract through 2025-26. He had 47 points (15 goals, 32 assists) in 79 games in his first full NHL campaign, leading the team in goals by a defenseman during the 2023-24 regular season. Harley notched four points and was plus-8 in 19 playoff games.

The first-round pick (18th overall) in the 2019 NHL Draft has 53 points (16 goals, 37 assists) in 119 career contests.
