Also, this mock up should have better goaltending, which would definitely improve the team.
However, this is why a great many of us would like to see Wideman moved out, then you can use his cap space to improve the top six and make up for Hudler's absence, or maybe even improve on Hudler.
EDIT: Which would at the same time free up a spot for Nakladal or Wotherspoon or maybe a darkhorse Dman.

I'm not sure goaltending will be much better unless the defense in front of them is also much better. Jokipakka has been solid in his handful of games with us, but I'm not sure he will be a good replacement over a full season, he IMO would ideally play with Engelland. I am also all for moving Wideman but contrary to popular belief being without Wideman & Russell is going the hurt the Flames.
