I don't sense it's time to trade Hudler yet, even though he may not be around by the time they are cup contenders.

I hope he is. He is 31 now and the style of game he plays should allow him to be an effective player till he is close to 40. He doesn't rely of fast skating or hard hitting elements to be a good player. He is efficient with the puck and that is a skill that should not deminish when he ages.
