Hudler and Moss can both play both wings and fill in at centre, so I'd say they are comparable in that way. Like Moss, Hudler isn't afraid to go to the front of the net, especially on the power play. He's smaller than Moss, bit is still similar to Langkow in size so he's not tiny either. Unlike Moss he has a great shot and legit top 6 skill and stays relatively healthy. Moss is better suited to being a 3rd line shutdown winger that puts up some points. Stempniak is going to be expected to fill that 3rd line role this year, and it appears, based on last year, that he should be able to do so adequately.
