If Hudler is willing to take a pay cut, I would re-sign him. If not, I would try trading him. You will likely only get picks or prospects though.

It's also a question of term as well as cost. How long a contract is he going to want? Three years, four years, five?
I'm not so certain keeping a "post-apex" skill and finesse player around is useful considering what cap money will be needed to keep Bennett and Gaudreau long-term.
