Dempsey
Mark it zero
I don't know if any non-Redwings fans have noticed, but after his hat-trick tonight Hudler has an amazing 12 goals and 16 points in 6 AHL games so far. It's fair to say he's going to be a player in the NHL soon enough.
I just finished mentioninh him in another thread before reading this one, basically i was saying I think he will be decent NHL er but not necessarily great, perhaps around a 70 point player,I think the "New NHL" is also more condusive to his style of play, what do u think?zetterberg40 said:very skilled, ive been impressed with him since preseason. He just needs to up his playing level another half notch to make it, and i think hes doing it...
future 2nd liner for sure without a doubt. He was playing great until he left for Czech rep last year glad to see its carrying over
slumpy43 said:He's been playing well, but where would he fit in the line up and with whom should he play?
TinCanCommunications said:He should be a second line winger, playing with one big man and one fast man.
I personally think he should have started the season on the Red Wings as a Winger on a line with Shanahan and Lang.
Shanahan offers some protection. Lang offers some guidance and tutelage (a veteran Czech to a young Czech)
However, it's hard to argue with Jason Williams in that spot. But I will. Despite good numbers, I really can't say Williams is doing much to get those points.
Hudler has much more upside. I'd rather see him play.
