Simple choice.

Well you can put me in the 'hope he stays' camp.
We might trade him or lose him, then realize not only did he play well on that top line, but he was also one of the only players in the league that can think the game well enough to fully utilize gaudreau.
I get that you would be replacing him internally with young talent, however there is nothing saying poirier klimchuck Bennett etc. Will even be in the same stratosphere creatively.
I mean you would need to replace Hudler with someone like Datsyuk in order for it to be an upgrade.
Hudler and gaudreau is a hell of a combo, and the creativity between those two cannot be game planned against IMO.
