I haven't seen enough of Hudler live to feel prepared to make any kind of useful analysis. But I do want to make one comment, based on the writeup from the Wings fan above...
Reading comments about his skating, his inabilty to get to the pointman quickly, or skate out of trouble in the defensive zone, and contrasting that against the comments about his vision, intelligence and creativity in the offensive zone, I couldn't help but think what a disaster he would have been under Sutter, but also how Hartley might be the perfect coach for him (allowing him the chance to do his thing and not benching him for an inability to 'stick to the system').
We shall see. And sorry, that was a long sentence.
