I'm not saying he's untouchable, I just feel like we're too quick to jump on trading someone the moment he gets a shred of value in this market.
We'll continue to have crap talent if we don't have a GM doing his due diligence when players have maximized their value on the trade market.

Part of trading pieces like Hudler is opening up positions for the depth that's accumulated in the prospect pool. It's time to give some of these kids a shot, and no better time than now when the roster isn't close to competing for a playoff spot.
