Speculation: 2020 Offseason Thread - Part III

[serp]

I’m sure he wants to play in the NHL, but so do I.

Well he's signed to an NHL contract and you are not .

 

[Troy McClure]

Well he's signed to an NHL contract and you are not .

And as of this morning we’re both on an equal number of NHL depth charts.

Idk Honka is still on the Star depth defensive depth chart. At like number 12-ish or something like that . He would get into games if enough players get injured you wouldn't be .

That's it kill those dreams

 

[Kcb12345]

Comeau is officially out Friday and there is no current timetable for his return, so Robertson, Dellandrea, and Caamano should all be in I believe

 

[Magic Mittens]

Friday can’t come soon enough. I’ll probably throw 50$ on Nashville, but still excited

Yes, if the Stars team plane crashed killing everyone and then the second team plane make crashed the next day, Honka would get some NHL ice time. You got me.

I mean 2 years ago freshly signed 20 year old undrafted free agent Ben Gleason got into NHL games because so many Stars defenseman got injured . That lead to Taylor Fedun beeing picked up on waivers and randomly becoming a semi-regular NHL player for the first time at 30 years old and he's been that since for the Stars . You tell that guy 3 years ago he'll be a #7 defenseman on a team that makes it to the SCF in the not too distant future he'd have thought you're crazy. But thats what happened.

You just never know. Maybe Honka still randomly falls into a regular NHL job somewhere . It won't be with the Stars but if a team picks him up ? Who knows. You also thought Nichuskin was worthless when the Stars cut bait and he's been good with the Avs. Top 10 pick good ? No but regular NHL player good.

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

It seems like Jim Nill hopes to salvage something out of Honka as a first round bust, like a 7th round draft pick or something. Doubt it was worth it, unless he was just trying to give Honka a chance somewhere in the NHL. As mentioned, sometimes changes of scenery do help.

We're havin' fun here, no?

Nichushkin was worthless when the Stars bought him out. The fact he suddenly started trying after getting out says as much.

Yeah and Honka might to the same once he's on another NHL team.

 

[Troy McClure]

No more (regular season) banners. This is a good thing.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

I will be shocked if Honka gets claimed. He was mediocre in the Finnish league last season as a 24 year old. Will likely bring some excitement to the AHL team, but I doubt we see him dress in the NHL.

Transactions - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

Capfriendly shows Harley, L'Esperance and Kero were moved to the taxi squad.

Mike Heika said Garder is out with a medical issue, but will likely be on the Taxi squad as well.

 

[serp]

Wouldn't Kero needed to be waived to be put on the taxi squad ?

 

[Jussi]

A local paper revealed that Kiviranta and Heiskanen both had Covid but have recovered.

 

[Kcb12345]

Wouldn't Kero needed to be waived to be put on the taxi squad ?

He was waived earlier this month I believe

Well we all suspected that .

Long List Of Players Placed On Waivers

Looks like it. Guess i missed that.

3rd times a charm; whoever may grab him off waivers.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Couple hours and we find out if someone grabbed him. One more day until GAME TIME

 

[serp]

He's still with the Stars i guess ...

 

[Dallasman]

To the surprise of no one.
