Dallas has no need for a player for their NHL or AHL roster, both are full.
A pick? Third round?

Some team should have given him a shot anyway... but now you get to being a week into some camps, I think it's pretty much game over for a player in Honka's position? He really should have just signed whatever QO Dallas offered him a lot sooner and come to camp trying hard and hoping to get waived. He has no leverage now, and all the other teams have moved too far in their internal processes to consider him. He just hasn't proven enough to waltz in after missing camp and get a spot anywhere.
Dallas has had Honka on the market for 6 months for a 3rd rounder. No one has taken that.
Quite frankly Honka not signing his QO was kind of dumb by him and also seems like a bad decision . If he did and showed up for camp the Stars would be forced to make a decision at the very latest when the roster has to be at 23 . Either waive him or keep a guy on the roster that the coach doesn't like and refuses to use.
Like this ? Stars couldn't care less what happens. Honka wasn't in the teams plans anyway. Either a trade comes along they are happy with or Honkas rights remain with the Stars and he can't play anywhere else in NA . Honka doesn't take a rosterspot or capspace so it doesn't matter to the team.
And if he gets waived and not picked up? Stuck in the AHL riding the bus making what? $80k?
I've thought about it since I saw this thread pop up.I would love him in Tampa as a project. I feel like worst case they can shape him into another Marc Andre Bergeron.
Chicago is interested if you'll take Brendan Perlini.
Jets make the most sense now.
I’d do a strait swap. Disappointment for disappointment.
One of Dallas many successful first round picks from the past ten yearsWho?
I think the Jets might be waiting for Honka to go on waivers.
Goldobin for Honka
Stars want no contract coming back they have to put somewhere how difficult to understand is that ? Too close to the contract and salary cap for that. Just a pick not a player we don't need.
If you don't want to trade a pick well no dice. Stars have no need for unneeded depth players from other teams.
Other teams my want to dump players but the Stars don't have to dump Honka. It doesn't matter one way or the other if Honka is traded or not. Thatswhy Honka just sitting out like that is strange. It doesn't put any pressure on the Stars to do anything .
Sound good but nobody is going to give you a pick for a bust....if they really want to trade him, it's going to be my bust for your bust.
Every team has a Honka trying to make the team.
