It would have been nice to sell Hudler the previous off season as you likely could have got a first and a prospect or decent player, but no GM could have justified selling a 76 point top lline winger with the team coming off a playoff run.

Hudler trade was great. A 2nd and a 4th for a guy who had 35 points at the trade deadline. Everyone knew he was a small one dimensional player on the decline. That off season the best contract he could get was a one year deal worth 2 million. Played only 32 more games in the NHL.
