But I'm curious as to when it was said he supposedly had an attitude issue?

Well let's say that you had a very good attitude and relationship towards the Flames as Hudler. At the end of the day, they brought in good players that got paid... enough so that Hudler can't realistically talk contracts with Treliving without taking some sort of massive pay hike, with Johnny and Mony's extensions looming on the horizon.
So Hudler knows - whatever his current attitude is - that staying in Calgary is not realistic. If he wants out, meh. But I feel like he wants to stay. I'm sure he likes it here and being around the guys - but if you knew that you were gonna be separated from your buddies at the end of the day and your family made to pack up and move their lives elsewhere anyway, that's gotta be emotionally tasking.
