Here's the release:
Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today that the club has reassigned left wing Remi Elie to the Texas Stars, Dallas' top development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL).
Elie, 22, recorded 14 points (6-8=14), 18 penalty minutes and a +5 plus/minus rating in 72 games played for Dallas this season. He has also appeared in two games for Texas in 2017-18, registering one goal (1-0=1) and a +3 plus/minus rating.
The 6-foot-1, 210-pound native of Cornwall, Ont. was originally selected by Dallas in the second round (40th overall) of the 2013 NHL Draft.
Glad to get Remi. Any chance we could get Honka? Cap Friendly shows him as waiver exempt.
ReplyDeleteAs barbarjojo said below, Honka wasn't on the roster at the deadline, so he doesn't qualify.
DeleteThey did not put Honka on a paper transaction, like they did Elie, so he's not on our "clear day roster" and not eligible for the playoffs.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, thanks!
DeleteStephen,
ReplyDeleteAny speculation as to why the didn’t paper Honka? Makes zero sense to me, unless he has “Stars Hip” for repair this offseason.

He's made it past the AHL phase of his career, I'd say.
