It's hard to justify paying him anything close to Hudler considering the offensive catalyst Hudler is and the relatively steep drop off between him and Cammalleri.

It'll be very interesting to see what happens with Cammalleri this summer. IF the cap isn't going up as previously though, he might be missing out if he plays a game of musical chairs.
What steep drop off are you talking about. Their PPG totals this year pro-rate to about 8 points difference on a full season in Hudler's favour, and I wouldn't be shocked if Cammy narrows that gap a bit the way he is playing.

Also, Cammy's game tends to get better as the games start to mean more, while Hudler's seems to get worse. Cammy's a point per game player in the playoffs, better than his regular season totals, while Hudler is a half point per game player in the playoffs.

I have no problem with Hudler, but he's dreastically overated on this board, I think simply because he's relatively new and not associated with previous Flame teams, which is understandable.
