Hudler has been injured most of this year and hasn't had much time to build chemistry. Last year with the Flames, there was obvious pressure with trade rumors/potential trade and a contract year. When Hudler first came to Calgary it took time to adjust and was also dealing with his fathers death IIRC. He is obviously susceptible to such off ice things. I bet he would mesh well again with Mony and Johnny. I really doubt it happens, I still think Mony and Johnny are too young and could really benefit from a veteran Hudler type. Not Chaisson, I really thought Versteeg could be that guy. I'm surprised that didn't/isn't working.
