I love what Hudler has contributed to this team over the last few years, but truthfully he won't represent good value on his next contract.
He hasn't been the same since the playoffs & I can't help but wonder if he's dealing with some nagging injuries.
A lot of teams will be looking for a winger with his skill set as we approach playoff time. As the team has demonstrated recently, they can put together a few wins even without Hudler contributing how he used to.
If this team makes the playoffs this season it won't be Hudler who carries it. It will be Johnny & Mony. It's time to find them a RWer for the longterm, and if Hudler nets us that then I'm happy.
