What does this do for Dallas?
Why are we giving up a pick just to create logjams at both F and D?
We don't want a player back. As is, our roster is comfortable at 14F/7D and we have a number of players at every position we're comfortable with calling up in case of injury.
If it was a player for player deal, it probably would've already been done. I'd rather lose him for nothing than pick up another useless player.

The 3rd is worth more than these 3 future waiver players combined

The Stars and Habs are better off trading hockey sticks. They have more value than these players.

I think Cale Fleury is poised to steal a spot, and at this point is Honka better?
With Juulsen mired in head injuries I say sure. We then make a trade for Patrick Hornqvist and the fans can Honka if your Horny !!

Basically I’m good with Honka for a 4th. Any less and he can sign in Finland/KHL for the season and work on rounding out his game.

Honest question wouldn’t Dallas have to waive him? I thought he was eligible for waivers.

He doesn’t have a contract right now so no. Same situation as Poolparty

Ah I missed that detail. Thanks for the clarification.
Then I’d have to agree with you. It’s probably best for both team and player for him to try Finland and see if he can develop. Increased return for Dallas and a better situation for Honka to negotiate an NHL deal.

Yep that's better than your other proposal. 3rd round pick for nothing was basically the original

Yeah the situation is kind of similar to the Puljujarvi probably even worse for the player. The Stars don't actually have any major needs we could fill by trading Honka . His value is so low and the Stars don't need anything but a guy to pair with Heiskanen longterm which Honka isn't returning. Also the Stars AHL and ECHL team are pretty filled and the team is at 48 contract so they don't actually want any actual depth/minor league player back we would have to put somewhere. Either Stars get a pick or Honka has to play in Finland . If he truely wanted to play elsewhere he could've just signed his QO and have the Stars make the decision to waive him . He decided he didn't want to do that now he was to wait and hope a deal comes along the Stars are ok with which might not exist. Pretty sure the Stars tried to trade him for a while now even prior to his public trade request but there just isn't much interest and why would there be ? He just hasn't shown much in the NHL .

Hudon would have no place on the Stars and takes up capspace unneccessarily. Honka in his current form does not that take caspace. So for the Stars taking back Hudon is a negative. So no. Just a pick and we're good . Stars are too close to the contract limit and the cap to take back random players they have no use for and would just waive .

He a
He has looked real good through 2 pre-season games. Better than his competition that's for sure.

Habs 4 Life
No Excuses
Rumor says player for player swap. Personally I wouldn't give a pick
The Habs don't need another 5-6 D

Yup, not sure if he is ready for this season but with Fleury and Brook knockings on the door, there is no point for the Habs to make such a deal.

Rumor also says that Stars don't want a player for player swap but a pick. Habs want a player swap but Stars don't. Stars have 48 contracts signed , are close to the cap and 3 PTO's in camp. Absolutely no point bringing anyone back .

Is Honka even an upgrade on Folin?
I could see interest if Folin shit the bed in preseason, and if Juulsen injury keep him off the ice - just so they can let time for Fleury to grow in the AHL, but other than that...
