Maybe do some research regarding Hartley in Atlanta. What he did was a huge under achievement when you consider those teams were going out and paying to get players in all while playing in the weakest division in the league.
Hudler is a classic case of a player that has inflated stats as a result of playing with players significantly more talented than he is. It's not impossible for us to see the Hudler who scored 10 goals in the 2010-2011 campaign. It's actually a more realistic expectation the he will score 6-8 goals this season.
If you get an average season out of Wideman you can expect 4-5 goals. Granted he will likely cost you more than 5-6 goals as his D game isn't so great.
Then we have Sven. Everyone expect him to be lights out. Nobody knows what will happen. If he scores just 9 goals it would be an absolutely monumental. It's more likely he goes between hot and cold stretches as well he's a rookie and again a good expectation is 6-8 goals.
Cervenka again, will either not play in a flames game at all or will play in fewer than 25% of the games during the season.
Dont tell me you think Hudler is going to put up 15 when he doesn't have Zetterburg, Datsyuk and Franzen feeding him the puck. Your living in a fair world if you think he's capable of being a leader.
