While this is true Hudler was already our highest scoring forward before this line was offically put together in mid-January. He was also our best forward last year and was a big reason Monahan had such a solid rookie season. I think it's been great for Hudler that he's been given these responsibilities and I definitely think his improved numbers are a direct result from playing with our high-end rookie talent but at the same time it takes a certain kind of player to be able to shoulder that kind of responsibility and turn it into what Hudler has. I wish we had a player like him when Backs was starting out, he would have been much further along a lot sooner if that was the case.
