I still don't see how Hudler wouldn't be traded already if it was just a 2nd. Last year was a better draft and worse players got more then a 2nd.
Last Year:
Perron: 1st
Winnik: 2nd & 4th
Jagr: 2nd & 3rd
Vermette: 1st + Dahlbeck
Cole: 2nd + Janmark +Backman
Glencross: 2nd + 3rd
Connolly: 2 2nds
Stewart : 2nd round pick
Hudler is a better player that most on those list, and at least equal to them. Asking for only a 2nd seems ridiculous. Would also argue he had a much better playoff history then Ladd if you pull that into the equation.
