Still just a pup at 22 years old, Honka began to bare his teeth last year, playing in a career-high 42 NHL games -- although his average ice time dropped almost four minutes. The 14th overall pick in the 2014 has already impressed with his offensive skills in the AHL, scoring 108 points in 201 career games, and his vision, crisp passes and smooth skating should soon make him a second threat off the Dallas blue line behind John Klingberg. Honka isn't the biggest defenseman around, but his poise in his own end keeps him from being a liability, and he should shoulder a much bigger role this season. On another team he could be a real sleeper, but with Klingberg and Tyler Seguin likely to handle the point on the first power-play unit again, Honka's opportunities for a big spike in his production could be limited.
