Negotiating a few trades and I suddenly have room to keep one. I personally think its a coin toss but figured Id post on here. Have to make the drop later tonight. Team/league in sig.
Any thoughts?

Both are a gamble. With PMB you're hoping he spends some time on the top line. With Hudler you're hoping he's not playing 3rd line minutes again.
Personally, Hudler would be the one I choose.
PMB is in a better situation and thus gets my vote.
Both players come with huge risks.

I'd much rather have PMB. He's got equal skill, better opportunity, and I just like his play a little more personally.

PMB for me. He started coming along late last year and I think has true 65+ pt. upside.
Hudler has disappointed me too many times to take him again... although I might be holding a grudge here after taking him 3 years in a row (and owning him up to his overseas experiment) and then drafting him again the following year.

I would seriously consider looking to see if there's anyone better or bundling them in a trade.
Lol- funny advice.
I actually am looking at a few moves but Id say either is a viable 12th keeper in a 22 team league- especially one that differentiates wingers and centers. In a standard 12 man type set-up- yeah i dont imiagine either really gets a look- but in our format I dont mind rolling the dice on one. Also I just did a 2 for 1 that landed me Malkin hence why I have to pick one- they were previously my two droppers...
Thanks to everyone- Im really torn on this and might literally flip a coin...
I like PMB quite a bit more. I personally think he could reach 60 points this season if he stays healthy. Drafted him accordingly too. Don't think his scoring was ever in question it's just his health.
Goalies: If I'm pickin em you best be sittin em!
PMB without a doubt. He should be a consistant producer, something that can't be said about Hudler.

PMB over Hudler. Definitely.
I laugh because it remnds me of the pre-season Hudler/Filpulla thread of a few years ago. Who'd of thought we'd be here regarding Hudler at this point.
I'm going to dig it up just for S's and G's.

PMB for me as well
Hudler is overrated on here quite a bit. I took advantage last year, drafted him and traded him right away.
Best move I made all year.
PMB should give you better numbers
Wow this is interesting... and enlightening. I think Hudlers true value is harder to gauge than some people are predicting. At one point he was a 57 point player and played a very sound 2 way game to boot. It could be that he just needed a season to re-acclimate. The other thing that worries me about PMB is that much like a guy like Connolly he could have less opportunity now- been bypassed dude to injury. He got those points as pretty much the undisputed topline lw and with all the pp time he could handle. Cullens really emerged as a ppqb and with Heatley/Seto in the fold he might not have the same prime minutes. Could go either way though- less checking pressure, etc- just really hard to read either situation. He was playing at a 55(ish) point season rate if you extrapolate the numbers. Hes also very much assist heavy which is a drawback in this league....
