LidstromIsASuperhero 29 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 If Hudler was a cyborg that you could put a turbocharger on then maybe, otherwise I think 30 is a more reasonable goal. He just doesn't have the physical assets right now to be that dominating a player... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
interminded 1 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 I agree with OsGod. Dude is still young and has a lot to learn. Let him develop. I would be satisfied with 30-35 goals. That would be awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im still waiting to see if Hank can do it. I think Hudler will have a career year with about 38-42 goals, and in his prime, average about 28-32 a year.

I think he'll max out at the 25 area, maybe a couple more, or couple less...and i still believe that he wont be here when he hits it. 50 goals...lol talk about overreacting!

Heaton 1 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 Hudler is a streaky goalscorer, I doubt he'll ever touch 40 or 50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 Hudler has a great shot and knows how to handle a pass, and has SLIGHT playmaking ability, but the sum of the parts will never equal a 50 goal season. Only the elite in the NHL manage that feat, Steve and Shanny are both headed to the HOF and they each only managed it a handful of times. Hudler will have a few 30 goal seasons in his career, hopefully him and Flip develop a Hank-Pav kinda connection and stay in motown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opie 308 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 Maybe if he played with Joe Thornton... OR Dats!! Just kidding, he will probably get a career high of some where around 30-40. Which is not too shabby!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flip-check 6 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) Hudler is a streaky goalscorer, I doubt he'll ever touch 40 or 50. Hudler is a streaky goalscorer.. Hudler is in his second year. He hasn't had time to "be" anything habit-wise. Good or bad. And also to make sure from the OP, I don't think Hudler will -ever- touch 40. I like LGW's optimism though.

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 Come on guys, Hudler has a couple of consecutive games with goals, and already we're arguing about whether he'll ever be a 50 goal scorer. It's been forever since any Wings player scored 50, and there's only a few guys in the entire league that do it every year. I don't see it happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 Hudler is a better goal scorer than Datsyuk. He probably won't be as good in that department as Zetterberg will be. This would put his peak likely somewhere between 35-45 goals. Depending on the climate of the league and who he plays with, it's possible for him to hit 50, but it's not highly likely.

Do you mean Stastny was not going to get 178 points after three games into this season. Or that Hudler will not be the second coming of Datserberg. If you go by the month of November, Hudler is on pace to score 57pts in 57 games. We could deal him for Heatley! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Offsides 21 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 Hudler has the handicap of being on the 4th line...for some unknown reason. If he was on a better line... ...it's all VERY frustrating. I called 30+ before the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lidstromrules16 7 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 I hope so, but doubt it. However, I was unaware how young huddles was until last night. I have been hearing about him for what seems like 4 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 50 goals is tough, not too many guys get it. I can't see Hudler being in the elite category of guys like Heatley, Kovalchuk, Lecavalier, and Ovechkin. Nowadays, 50 goals is rare, and if it becomes more common via bigger nets, or smaller goalie equipment, I can't see a guy like Hudler netting 50. It's too big of a number, 50 goals is for the odd "A" player... I could only see Hudler reaching "B" status for his career. 35 goals is the most I can see, and that's being generous.
