Losing Hudler will feel the same as this entire year has felt. One of the reasons we aren't playing as well this year is the fact that Hudler hasn't been the player he was. To your point, the Flames need to find someone to fill that role, as we still don't have a enough top 6 players on our roster. Problem is, we can't fill that role with Hudler unless he's willing to take about a 50% hair cut on what he'd get in the open market, or unless the Flames are willing to walk away from one of Monahan and Gaudreau.
