Confirmed with Link: Hudler to Panthers for 2016 2nd and 2018 4th

[InfinityIggy]

Pretty eh return. Not bad not good, the 2018 4th made me laugh.

 

[Anglesmith]

lol what did he say now? I haven't seen a Sun in about a week.

Not in print, but on TV two nights ago he again expressed his hatred for Hudler, then said the Flames would hope to get a 3rd. Said some people have talked about a 2nd, but he doubted it.

 

[InfinityIggy]

I'd also like to point out, no salary retained as predicted. This ownership group won't do it.

With Florida, I don't think they needed to though. Other teams would have perhaps specifically asked, but for Florida they aren't up against the cap.

 

[Boomstick]

Well, wishing for a first, but happy Huds got moved. He was amazing last year in a fantastic run. Looking forward to the Flames future and who else we move out.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Noice. Suck it, Eric Francis.

What did he say?

Or do you mean in general?

Edit: saw the reply

Perhaps. Like I said, I'll believe it when I see it, I don't believe they will retain on Russell either.

 

[Anglesmith]

I was wishing for a first, but a second is fine. I'm also happy because it's Florida- not a team I particularly expect to make the conference finals (though it could happen). That would make it a mid 2nd as opposed to the late first we were hoping for. Not that big a drop.

Salary retention will be important for Jones and Hiller. If both are moved and no salary is retained, than I think it can safely be said this ownership group won't do it.

I would agree with that... unless they are being moved to teams that have zero salary cap constraints, of course.

I don't think anyone will take Hiller and Jones will return very little if anything, so I think it'll be a moot point.

 

[JurassicTunga]

kinda sorta wished we got a bit more.

Bye Huds. You were a good Flame. Good luck with the Panthers!

 

[BigRangy]

Will calgary score another goal this season?

 

[Kipper933]

Considering we have a ~$90m CDN payroll right now, I can see why a group of businessmen wouldn't retain cash as the team is getting weaker.

 

[Bosnian Beast]

For people saying should have been more, underwhelming etc.

Are you saying you wished he brought back more or you think that Treliving dropped the ball and should have got more?

Because this seems to be right where a few media figured he would get and higher than some.

I'll admit I was a bit underwhelmed at first because I thought that at worst, Hudler would get a similar deal to Glencross last year. I don't think Treliving dropped the ball at all, Deebz pointed out to me (he told me about the trade) that it's a buyers market for wingers right now, so really it isn't that bad of a deal.

Good luck to Hudler in Florida, I was happy with his signing from day one and look forward to seeing him play with Jagr.

 

[Calculon]

Can't see teams with that amount of cap space (~1M) being buyers. Good chance no wants them anyway so we still won't know for sure.

 

[TkachuckNotTkaczuk]

Was hoping the 2nd would be next year, think BT should have held out for that at least

 

[WeegarUnderwood]

Goodbye Huds, it was nice having you here

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Not terrible at all, especially with no salary retained. Purcell had salary retained and got a 3rd, so I think it was a good trade for the Flamed.


Thanks for everything you did, Hudler!

 

[Dertell]

lol the 2nd isn't even in 2017. What an awful deal.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Bye Hudler you will be missed. Pretty under whelming return imo but I love Hudler

 

[Anglesmith]

lol the 2nd isn't even in 2017. What an awful deal.

You'd prefer '17 to '16?

 

[Anglesmith]

Another thing to think about is that just a couple of years ago we couldn't get teams to offer more than a 3rd round pick for Mike Cammalleri. So a 2nd and 4th is fine as far as I'm concerned. Wingers like that clearly aren't the hottest commodity.

 

[StreakingRed]

Not a bad return, especially considering the kind of season he's had.

Hopefully one of many more moves to come.

I wouldn't be shocked if Hudler wanting to play with Jagr didn't factor in too.
