The news first appeared in GM Jim Nill’s postseason press conference: The Dallas Stars and Julius Honka are making their way back to a possible space where they can discuss maybe, maybe coming to a new agreement. Possibly.
Does Big D have its own Jesse Puljujarvi-style redemption arc in the works? Can the Stars really use another right-handed, puck-moving defender? Can their fandom endure another round of the Honka Wars? These are questions that demand answers, because why not, it’s 2020.
Sean Shapiro examines the case for (and against) Honka in a new article for The Athletic.
