• Julius Honka: Signs overseas

  05/26/2021 • By RotoWire

  Honka has signed with Lulea HF of the SHL, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports. Honka returned to the Stars on a one-year deal for the 2020-21 campaign after spending the 2019-20 season in Finland, but he spent the entirety of the year in the minors, picking up five points in 17 contests. It wouldn't be surprising to see him remain overseas for the remainder of his playing career.

• Stars' Julius Honka: Designated for waivers

  01/20/2021 • By RotoWire

  Honka (COVID-19 protocols) was placed on waivers Wednesday, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports. Unless Honka is claimed by another team, the move will allow the club to either move the blueliner onto the taxi squad or ship him down to the minors outright. Given the contentious relationship in the past, it seems unlikely Honka would be thrilled about joining AHL Texas. With the taxi squad, the Finn will at least still be able to practice with the NHL group and could be promoted as needed.

  Honka inked a one-year, two-way contract with Dallas on Friday. Honka will return to the Stars following a one-year stint in Finland during which he was engaged in a contract dispute with the organization. While the blueliner should get every opportunity to secure a spot on the 23-man roster for Opening Night, the fact that he's on a two-way deal suggests he could spend some time in the minors next year.

  10/08/2020 • By RotoWire

  General manager Jim Nill told reporters that Honka would like to rejoin the Stars for the 2020-21 campaign, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports. Honka missed out on last season after failing to come to an agreement regarding his contract. With JyP HT Jyvaskyla, the 24-year-old blueliner notched four goals and 11 helpers in 46 appearances. The Finn would likely push Joel Hanley and Andrej Sekera for a spot in the lineup if he does in fact re-sign with the Stars.
