Julius Honka Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Honka has done next to nothing in his three outings this season, but I'm still a believer that this Finish defenseman will become more and more involved with Dallas' offensive attack. He was the 14th overall selection in the 2014 draft and showed plenty of offensive upside with five points and 34 shots in just 16 games with the Stars last season. Honka logged over 16 minutes against Colorado in his last game and saw over three minutes of playing time on the power-play, so it's only a matter of time until he starts easily paying off his near minimum price salary. With the Coyotes having posted an ugly 77.3% penalty kill last season, tonight looks like a promising opportunity.

With Honka slated to make his 2017-18 season debut tonight against the Red Wings, the value options on the blue-line are bountiful. The 21-year-old's exciting offensive game is what led Dallas to draft him 14th overall in the 2014 NHL Draft and he flashed his upside at times when given an opportunity last year (a goal and four assists in just 16 games). With a plus home matchup against a Detroit team prone to defensive breakdowns awaiting him, his bargain price-tag is too hard to ignore tonight.
