News: Julius Honka has asked for a trade (did not get signed/traded before Dec 1st deadline)

[Fig]

What do you want for Hamonic? Anaheim could use em. Always loved his play style over the years.

I can't speak for all, but I'm guessing it'd be a discussion of a top 6 center or RW? Obviously not straight up though. I think most flames fans are hoping of a discussion around Silf or Rakell if there is legit interest?

 

[innitfam]

Honka and a 2nd for Virtanen?

I'd do that. We need to recoup the lost Miller pick somehow. There's too many forwards at this point anyway.

 

[M88K]

He’ll be claimed off waivers.

he would have to have a signed contract for waivers to be an issue

 

[Roof Daddy]

So if you trade for Honka, the Stars will throw in a fish finder?

 

[MBH]

If Honka was a LH shot, I'd take a flyer on him.

Should the Stars be concerned with their development?
Or is Nill just a terrible drafter?

Both. In the first round we always seem to take a big swing and miss. Nichushkin was the obvious pick in 2013, but since then we’ve passed on players that were more talented. Outside of the first round is to be determined, so far only Hintz looking like a clear win.

Trade Me Right ******* now
Then hang up the phone

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Have to admit I was kinda shocked when looking at his stats. Looks like he hasn't done much in about 2 years, guess his next stop is the NLA.

 

[Deuce Awesome]

I remember a lot of hype about this guy. Too bad with the rules about waivers the way they are set up that a team with a good AHL defence coach or core couldn't try to save him

Obviously the Leafs are thin on D, but Im not a fan of our D coaches, and I think he would just become a whipping boy here if thats what he was on Dallas.

thats pretty odd with all our RHDs...

Juulsen seem to be injured again, after that you have Folin who is more a #7 and I think Fleury and Brook should play in the AHL this year. I have nothing to give him a try this year if he’s going for a player like Peca or Hudon

god damn were unlucky ffs.

yeah wouldn't be against bringing Honka in this case as i want Brook in Fleury in Laval for a little.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Carolina hoards defenseman like a crazy cat lady hoards cats.

 

[spockBokk]

CAR probably is looking for a way to leverage Honka’s situation with Faulk’s. Seems complicated, but maybe something to think about.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Carolina everytime a defenseman becomes available

 

[MinJaBen]

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Carolina has fully embraced the analytics movement, haven't they?

 

[Kcb12345]

No interest in swapping him for a forward. we already have too many

Maybe package him with Janmark and something else for Faulk pls

 

[LT]

I’d be all over Honka++ (the pluses likely being more valuable pieces than Honka) for Faulk.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Carolina's whole concept of team-building is "get that talent, fit them in later". At this point I would be utterly shocked if Honka wasn't a Cane by the end of next week.

That's part of it.

The other part seems to be "f*** Montreal".
