The bottom line and the question most important to be answered is if you move Hudler who replaces him on RW?

Personally I'd like to see an extension done before the trade deadline because I wouldn't want to risk losing him for nothing and if an extension isn't done this year I'm skeptical it gets done in the off season. I don't think replacing Hudler is an absolute must. Eventually of course but this team is still early in its rebuild so I don't see any immediate rush.
