I think once he finds some stability in his linemates, we will see him back to being an offensive force. He might have slowed down a bit recently, but the skill is still there. What do you expect when you play with freakin' Comeau on your line? It's very obvious he came from a strong organization in Detroit and it really shows in how he handles the puck.
He might be a smaller player, but he doens't seem soft like others have said. I've seen him lay out some hits and he doens't shy away from the corners.
I just wish Hartley would have kept him with Cervenka and Stajan. I know the coach likes to mix the lines up, but the chemistry between those 3 was undeniable. I hope once Cervenka is back in the lineup full time, that he sticks with Hudler.
