On Friday, Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill confirmed that one of their younger defensemen, Julius Honka, had requested a trade out of Texas. Today, Eric Engels alluded to the idea that the Montreal Canadiens may be interested in adding the finnish rearguard.
Pursuant to @MikeHeika report that Julius Honka has requested a trade from DAL, I'm told #Habs are among a couple of teams interested. Belief is that they'd be willing to make a player-for-player swap rather than give up a pick. Believe another East team in the mix.
