This screams 2:30 deadline day for a 5th.

Canucks probably if they're trying to push for wild card.

It's reasonable value. Hudon has skill. Charles had 30 points in 72 games last year. That's a reasonable rookie season on a bad team. He's just not been able to do enough to overcome the log jam of wingers this year. He's not capable of playing the type of role a typical 4th liner does, so he's wasted there.

I've always thought Hudon had value. I'd say they get their ask, but I'd short sell him early for a 5th so I could use the pick at the deadline to upgrade.

He's been either scratched or on the 4th line all year and hasn't earned his way off it. 4th or 5th isn't unreasonable.

After Stone and Duchene are traded, Ottawa should take a flier.

Exactly the type of reclamation projects they should fill their roster with while rebuilding. Someone who once flashed potential, but was buried in the depth chart.

Agree, he would be a skilled depth add for most playoff teams.

I think he'd be a good fit there. He wouldn't be 4th line and would have some breathing room to play around a bit

 

[llamateizer]

Hudon is a top 9 or Bust. He doesn't contribute as a 4th line.

 

[derriko]

Exactly why Ottawa would be a good destination.

Can he play both wings like his elite prospects profile indicates? If not, i'd give him a chance on 3LW if Dzingel isn't traded (ahead of Boedker) , or audition him on the second line for the rest of the year.

If he can prove he's more valuable than Boedker or MPS..keep him. If not, just let his rights expire.

he can play all 3 forward positions but LW is his best and most used spot. He needs to get stronger, quicker and improve his skating. Smart, skilled, has some grit.

He can play both wings, he played primarily LW last year when he looked better.

The Canucks are already working on a similar project in Goldobin. Doubt the coach has any interest in having two of these guys.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Edmonton could offer a 4th. He can’t be worse than what we currently have.

Deal.

Not only is he buried in the depth chart, but Montreal is just not a good fit for the style of play he has. He's a below average skater which combined with his size is his major setback. There are plenty of good qualities in Hudon and last year he showed he can use them at the NHL level but all Habs lines are highly speed driven and he's just struggling to keep up with the pace. That and the fact that he hasn't got any consistent usage.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

No, but I would even take a 2021 7th at this point.

I just want to see him with a new team and see if that helps him.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Talented but slow player. He’d fit the Oilers style.

 

[HABSFTW]

A fourth would be nice, seeing what we got for all our waiver losses this year. Heck even a 5th would be ok. Something is better then nothing.

 

[izzy]

hes worth a conditional 7th

 

[sansabri]

Screams waivers.

We could trade Hudon to Ottawa for a 2nd + a solid prospect. Can't do any favors to division rivals, right Dorion?

 

[Hockeyholic]

Hudon for Sam Bennett work?

Two projects. Maybe new environments will spark them.
