If you trade Hudler, you're not only trading a very consitent, never injured warrior, you also trade a part of Monahan and Gaudreau... and leadership... and a great locker room guy.
There's just no way you can replace that with any trade.
Sure, it remains to be seen if he can continue his play but I think he earned a chance.
Hudler should be as untouchable as Monahan, Gaudreau, Giordano, Brodie and Bennett. At least until the trade deadline.
It just makes no sense to trade your MVP... We're already ~6 months past that point in the rebuild.
