I think every GM in the league knows that Hudler has been useless this season. Playing with Johnny Hockey just about every game and not doing anything with it. In a contract year no less..

As I stated in my post, his 13 pts in 20 games is pretty much on par with his normal output of points. Hardly useless. Has he played soft recently? Yes. But he's never been very physical to begin with. Has he been less noticeable recently? Sure he has. But he's damn near on pace for what he normally scores. Last year was an anomaly and we're all starting to see it. Extending him with large term and a high cap hit (which he has every right to seek out) would be a mistake.
I guess selling high might mean we should have traded him while we were winning last season. But what kind of message would that have sent to the team? He is coming off a career year, so I would consider his stock to be fairly high at the moment, even with him regressing to his normal output.

His yearly production seems to support that theory.

Jones is another player who's value might be considered pretty high as the season goes along should he keep this pace. I'm confused why so many people want to re-sign him so eagerly. Where was this guy the last 3 seasons? Suddenly he's on a good streak in contract year. Color me shocked. He's also on the wrong side of 30. I like Jones and all, but he's another guy who's not part of the future and should be dealt for assets.
