Mike Heika, Stars beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered your questions about the team during a live chat recently. Here are some highlights:
Thoughts on the Oleksiak trade? Do you think Honka manages to lock down a more regular lineup spot before Methot comes back? If so, do you expect Pateryn or Johns to be the player left out?
Heika: It needed to happen. They have had too many defensemen for the past couple of years, so this creates less worrying among the defensemen. I think Honka has a chance to earn his spot in the lineup before Marc Methot comes back.
