That's why I think he's he odd man out when Armia returns - although odds are someone else will get injured before then.Plus Armia when he comes back.
Peca can play wing and centre...so he's got a leg up there too.

next Hab to be waived.
Two years is a LOT at that age.The fact is that Chaput & D'agostino are not much older than Hudon and they play a more seasoned game at this point. I'm still rooting for Huddy though!
Claude Julien tell you that?The fact is that Chaput & D'agostino are not much older than Hudon and they play a more seasoned game at this point. I'm still rooting for Huddy though!
You can put Hudon in the top 6 in pinch, you don’t have that option with Peca. Neither are on any 23 many roster of a true contender.Hudon can't skate, Peca can't stand up and often gets knocked off the puck. Hudon creates offense, Peca has seed to cover the ice and provides center depth.
Take your pick.
If I were management I hang onto Hudon and force him onto a serious squats and fitness program to strengthen his legs and increase his cardiovascular endurance. Not sure Peca is claimed at his salary. And, Froese can do the job short term.
Like Scherbak, Hudon is next to useless on a 4th line. And at this point of the season, and with Armia back in the line up in a near future, I don't see where CJ could place Hudon on a regular line up.
DeLo-Chaput and Agostino are hungry AHL-NHL players that will give it all to stay and play at NHL level. They are perfect 4th liners.

Be hoest, is Hudon more thasn a spare part? If so, what is his use?

100% agree with you. I think he will be able to improve his physical aspect(add some explosiveness and strenght in his lowet body) with alot of gym time and years. I truly think that eventually he'll become an impact player later in his career when he'll be able to put it all together probably in 2-3 years at 26-26 a bit lile Marchessault, Gourde and few others. I just dont think that MB will stick to him for a that long. It su*** to know that we probably wont be the team thats gonna see him reach his potential. And The way I see him I really dont doubt his working attitude and his willingness to progress and learn everytime he's outhere.I think his hockey brain is at a higher level than most players on the team, he sees the ice very well, has the courage to try things but his physical limitations have severely limited what he could be..
But Lehkonen can skate and defend...It's worth keeping in mind, Hudon had a better rookie year then Lehkonen (30 vs 28 points)
We didn't give up on Lehkonen when he had a brutal sophmore year, and he's been able to reestablish himself as a legitimate offensive threat in this his third year. It would be a mistake to not give Hudon the same chance to play through his struggles and hopefully learn from it as Lehkonen seems to have.
