Hudler doesn't strike me as the type of guy interested in a rebuild. He is in the prime of his career right now, spent a lot of time on a competitive Redwings team and when he signed here this team had Iginla and Kipper. They were also trying to make the playoffs and win a Cup.

By the time this team even starts to get competitive his contract will be over and we risk losing him for nothing/deadline deal. I would love to keep him as a mentor, but if someone is willing to part with a partially developed and promising forward for a in their prime trained by Babcock and the Detroit system winger Burke should do that deal. His value will never be higher than it is right now.
