Get an asset for him, the likely hood of this year being our cup year with this group is so low even with Hudler that really should be no debate.

So what I am hearing here from many is why try when there can be a slim chance we can draft an NHL player with a pick we get for Hudler. Even if that return was a late 1st it is still more than likely that pick never plays in the NHL.
Sure, maybe the pick we get turns into an NHLer, and maybe instead we keep Hudler and he gets hot and leads Calgary to a SC. Can play the maybe game all day put at the end my view will always be while you have a shot you got to go for it. Now if someone wants to trade us a young stud player that can help now then give'r but that isn't happening.
