Our top line winger got a 2nd and a future 4th rounder.
A guy that has played top 6 on and off goes for a 6th rounder and a contract coming back.

the only wingers that have fetched more than Hudler are Ladd and Boedker. Seems about right.
Jones for a 6th doesn't seem like much, but other teams couldn't get rid of their UFA wingers at all (Parenteau in Toronto, Vrbata in Vancouver and so on). So yeah, I'll take the 6th instead of nothing at all.
The Flames are huge winners this deadline.
