You have Johnny as 1st line LW and Frolik can be a 2nd line RW....but who takes the 1st line RW spot? The list of UFA wingers is pretty bad, certainly none as good as Hudler, despite his poor performance so far.
I think they Flames have to try and sign him....of course we cant afford too pay him what he'll probably demand...so I think he ends up walking, and the Flames roster suffers for it.
Hopefully BT can engineer another miracle trade

Who's going to replace Cammy's production? Who's going to play Bouw's minutes?
Realistically I can't see Hudler being in the team's long term plans. If he can be brought back on a very reasonable contract, then sure. I don't want the team to tie up top-6 money on a guy I believe is at the start of a decline though.
I think the Flames should get what they can at the deadline, regardless of position in the standings.
