Hudler is exactly the player that you trade when you are in a rebuild. He's looking to get paid and he is on the decline. Additionally, we need to replace his dollars with preferrably a bit if size and snarl.
On the other hand, he's contributing 50+ points per year, is a good locker team guy according to media and can move up and down the line up.
For the long term, Treliving needs to trade him. Short term, as many have mentioned - what does it signal to the club if we are fighting for a spot?
Difficult decision. If this was two years ago and his contract was expiring its a no brainer.
