If you want a draft to load up on picks, this is certainly the one do to so.
Hudler wouldn't be an easy move but the decision is coming. He's going to be looking for bigger dollars next summer and the Flames have to save on cap space moving forward. If Treliving feels he can flip Hudler for a good prospect and high pick, maybe fill that hole via Ufa or player already in the system, hope he does it.
Love what Jiri did last season, on and off the ice have to explore this option. Flames very well could miss the post season next spring, but will be better long term regardless.
