I personally feel that they can re-sign Hudler is he's willing to stay around $5M. Jones, Raymond, Engelland, Smid, Bollig and one of the goalies will be coming off the books over the next two years. That's at least $20M off the books for guys who probably aren't in the long term plans. Signing Johnny/Monny will take up $10M-$12M of that IMO.
If Hudler wants significantly more than $5M, which is his right and his UFA market value is certainly higher, it becomes much more doubtful.
