Any thoughts?

Toronto isn't starting their re-build by trading the fourth overall pick.
Hudler is probably more valuable than Kessel due to his contract, but the difference isn't moving up 11 spots in the draft. Babcock also limited Hudler greatly in Detroit. About zero chance a trade like this happens.
Toronto needs to worry about getting that youth before they worry about who's going to guide them.
