That’s funny because I watched the Team Canada WJC tryout camp this fall and couldn’t help but notice that Harley was a step behind some of the other guys. Dale Hunter, Andre Tourigny, and Mitch Love must have agreed with me, since Harley didn’t make the team. If he can’t make that team, IMO there’s a fat chance he makes the Stars, who have plenty of depth on D
Cmon man, look at the defense on that roster. Bahl, Addison, Byram, Bernard-Docker, Drysdale, McIsaac, & Smith. It’s not like Harley lost out on a spot to some average Joe the pulled off the street. And last time I checked, he wouldn’t be joining Team Canada, he’d be joining the Dallas Stars. Completely different coaching staff & a completely different group of defensemen he’d be competing with.
You’re saying that because he lost out on a roster spot to the guys listed above that means he’s automatically worse than the defensemen he’d be competing with in Dallas? I follow the Stars religiously. They do not have a Byram, or a Bahl, or a McIsaac in their system that he’d be competing with. Harley’s competition for a roster spot is going to be against Gavin Bayreuther & Dillon Heatherington, both fine players in their own right, but I (and just about everyone who covers the Stars) take Harley 10 times out of 10, assuming he has the same kind of training camp he did last year.
Believe what you want, but the Dallas Stars are not Team Canada. He’ll be on the roster for the 2020-2021 season
