I think others have done a good job answering the question. Hudler fills the #1 wing space now and does a good job of it. As for Johnny, he has the potential for anything.
On a side note about Hudler the guy is the perfect player for this team now and going forward. For now he fills the first line minutes that our developing players may not be necessarily ready for. He is defensively responsible and I honestly cannot think of a time where I've cursed Hudler's name, or even thought a goal against or a bad play was a direct result of a play from Hudler. I think his offensive skill set speaks for itself. Assuming his play does not decline, depending on how our team looks in the future Hudler can slot anywhere from line 1 to line 3 without concern. There is no reason he couldn't be the #3 guy on the top line akin to Kunitz or Hornquist or the go-to guy on the 3rd line. He's a quiet leader, and from what I've heard he seems to have a positive impact on the rookies (sharing his home etc.)
Hudler is the guy that gives you the time to develop your prospects now and then when it's time to push for a championship he's a great depth asset that every team needs.
