Hes already played outside of Detroit. He put up 54 points in the KHL in 09-10.

Other KHL comparables from the 09-10 season that Flames fans may recognize:

Alexei Yashin - 64 pts (his last season as an elite talent)
Alexander Radulov - 63 pts (yeah, that guy)
Jaromir Jagr - 46 pts (who never matched Hudler's 54 pts in a KHL season)
Sergei Fedorov - 29 pts (his first season back in Russia after leaving the NHL)
Chris Simon - 25 pts (Simon found his mojo again in Russia)
Oleg Saprykin - 14 pts (Most. Inconsistent. Player. Ever.)

For interest's sake:
Roman Cervenka had 61 pts the following season, which was his KHL rookie year.

The long and the short of it is that Hudler still produced when he left the Wings. He didn't crash and burn when relied on as a primary scorer, he performed like a top-6 NHL player should perform in the KHL (ie was a league leader, finished top-10 in pts).
