It looks like 23-year-old defenseman Julius Honka wants out of Dallas. According to Mike Heika, who covers the Stars for NHL.com, the young Finn has requested a trade.

Heika adds Honka played 29 games last season and has been a healthy scratch since mid-January. Dallas made a qualifying offer, but Honka refused to sign it. The team still owns his rights and have been looking for a trade all summer. At one point, there were rumours that Montreal was looking hard into acquiring Honka, but nothing came to fruition, at least not yet.
Honka is a former first round selection (14th overall) in the 2014 entry draft. So far, he's played just 87 NHL games, managing 2 goals and 11 assists.
