I think Hudler and Russell packaged up in a deal to Dallas makes more sense than to Chicago.

1. Hudler would slot into their top six easily, as he'd be their 3rd best winger behind only Sharp and Benn.
2. Russell would slot in as probably their 5th best D-man, and as we know can fill in top 4 no problem for extended periods of time. Good insurance against an injury to a top 4 Dman there.
3. Both fit under the cap easily this season.
4. Both are UFA's so no long term commitment is looming, but the option is there if the fit is solid as Dallas has cap room next season as well.
