Yes, they wanted to replace a defensive player.
But there is more than one way to do that. They could have switched the roles of one of the more versatile players that are currently slotted for the top 6, and then brought in Hudler.
That would have given them more talent overall while still maintaining the balance of roles.
The only explanation is a personal issue between the coach (or whoever is making the decision) and Hudler.
It's a shame, but Hudler will benefit from the time off.
