Russell was also playing pretty well and Wideman was not the disaster he has become.

Hudler was always hudler. The guys is one of the slowest skaters in the league. What more could he do then, over now, or even over his years past? IMO, Gaudreau and Monahan were different then, and that's what affected Hudler moreso than what Hudler changed. This season JG and Mony look that much less creative and interested, regardless who their winger is.
