Gio and Hudler are the same age. If you want, we could argue the merits of which player the team could merrily keep on trucking without. Of course the debate has some very fresh evidence supporting the idea Hudler may be more important.
Well there is always the deal the veteran crowd, but if you're going to toss around Borg collectives you have to see the difference in who you are talking to.

I've never been the trade all the vets guy, you can't give spots to kids. It never works out.

I like Hudler, so this isn't an attack on the guy.

Its asset management
Its fitting assets to a core
Its cap management

If I'm wrong, and Hudler's market is way lower, or his demands or a home town discount take him to 3 years and 4M then ignore all of this.

But I'm guessing I'm right, and the Flames shouldn't sign that contract.
