I think we should keep Hudler unless a team is willing to part with a 1st or blue chip prospect / emerging NHLer that we like. Hudler and Gaudreau are incredible together. I actually believe Gaudreau is a mix of Hudler and Kane. Anyhow they have an almost telepathic understanding / vision of each other on the ice. Reminds me a lot of the Sedins sometimes how they can basically do give and go plays and keep the puck away from the other team with their passing ability and positioning. They both find open ice very well, have incredible vision and hands - and great shooting.

I'd keep Hudler unless we are offered a established young physical d-man like Dillon or a big RW or a first round pick. I'd offer Hudler and a 2nd for Mantha. But I am a big believer in Mantha and think his bad AHL season stems from the broken leg in preseason and big jump in competition all at once. Came back to a brand new league and he wasnt even up to pace. You dont do what Mantha did in the Q and then just forget how to score. That isnt what happened.

So a young player of top quality, a 1st or no deal.
