Brodie was an RFA and took a bridge deal to get him to free agency.
I don't think at Hudlers age, likely his value never gets higher, he accepts the risk of shorter 2 to 3 year deal when their will be teams tripping over themselves to sign him to a 5 to 6 year deal, in his case thats probably a difference of 15 to 20 million.
