Why is no one talking about this guy? I think he'd be a great addition to the Flyers and I don't really think he'll be getting a HUGE payday over the less than $3 million he makes now. I'd take him around $4 million per year and think he would be awesome on the top line with Giroux and Hartnell/Voracek depending on how the line combos go and who else is brought in/back. If Parise or Suter/Weber aren't coming here (which it appears is this case), I'd make Hudler my #1 priority in free agency on the offensive side of the puck.
Anyone think there is a legit shot at getting him or do you think he'll go back to Detroit or that the Flyers just aren't interested.
I could live with a Hudler signing. He's not my primary hope for a scoring winger, and not my second either. He comes with some baggage, perhaps, and he's no defensive stalwart, but he's a skilled player and there aren't that many ufa's this summer who are better than him. He'd be in my short list of six-seven guys I'd look at if I were Homer.
Small (we've got Giroux, Briere, Read, Wellwood), poor defensively, questionable attitude, and inconsistent offensively year-to-year. What's not to like?

I mentioned him last week in a roster I made and you loved the idea... I would like to see it happen if others names don't pan out.
