The number one reason to re-sign Hudler is that the organization is very weak on the RW.
Some in this thread seem to think that 50 point players are easily replaced. This isn't the 80s or 90s anymore. 50 points is a lot now, and there is no-one in the organization that looks like they can replace that coming up in next 3+ years.
Obviously the contract is tricky, because you can't overpay, but something along the lines of 4M AAV for 4 years would be ok to me. Or 4.5M for 3, or 5 for 2.
Just because Hudler won't ever replicate last year doesn't mean he has no value to the Flames any longer.
