Hudler was in his fourth season with the Flames after signing with the team as a free agent in the summer of 2012. Hudler is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
The Flames are expected to make more moves before the trade deadline as rumours surrounding defenseman Kris Russell's future with the club continue to surface.
The 2016 NHL trade deadline is Monday, February 29, 2016.
