Starting to derail from the Giordano extension, but I'm surprised there haven't been any inklings of news about negotiating an extension for Hudler already. Is it simply a case salary cap constraints? Is Treliving worried about having adequate cap space for Monahan/Gaurdreau deals if Hudler's price is locked in? There will be 18.9 million off the books, just from the UFA's next summer. Seems like there's enough for Hudler, Gaudreau and Monahan. Just need to have some prospects secure some spots on their ELC's. Poirier/Smith takes Jones spot, Wotherspoon/Morrison/Kylington take Russell's spot, Ortio shows he is a legit starter, etc.
