Julius Honka is not a prospect. Not right now. Not anymore, and he probably has not been for quite some time. With Dallas in need of roster help, trade speculation is beginning to mount. Fantasy, of course, is the natural next step, and Honka has made his way into more than a few comments lately. For expectant fans, it is best to reframe our evaluation of the Dallas Stars’ wayward defender or face disappointment. His story might also be instructive of an ongoing issue doing far more to submarine the chances of the Dallas Stars than the efforts of their best players.
