He seems like he's just an offensive player who is more of a "hired gun" then anything else. At this point, I prefer having Hudler on the team.

As for wanting him to play well so we can trade him at the deadline, well I want his value to increase drastically so a team over pays for him in a trade. If we could get a first rounder and a say a prospect or even a second or some good combination of picks and prospects then I think it will benefit the team more long term.

As for him getting a high contract, I really dont' think he's worth it, not to the Flames anyway. Sure he scores goals but he also gets injured often and I really don't think he wants to be here long term (again, no facts to back this up, I just feel that way). I think he'll end up in either southern ontario, buffalo or somehwere with no snow.
