They said it

"It's special. I had some good years here and met a lot of great people. No matter where you go, where you end up and see those faces, it's special. It's pretty cool." -- Daley on returning to Dallas
"I'm curious. He's going to add a real element, he's an on the edge kind of player. Very dynamic with the puck, really moves the puck and he's not afraid to make plays. So that's what this game is about, it's a young man's league I think he's going to do nothing but help us if we're patient." -- Stars coach Ken Hitchcock on what Julius Honka brings to the lineup
