The only reason why this is coming up now is that this is the easiest time to find a suitable replacement through either trade or the free agent market, both of which are less likely to occur during the season.

Or as Tinordi aptly pointed out; Trading Hudler would put Brad Treliving firmly in the wheat category in the old wheat/chaff separation game.
While holding onto him would unfortunately reduce him to chaff, and that would be disappointing. No one likes to see their GM reduced to chaff so early in their career.
