I think the Anaheim Ducks make a ton of sense.
They lost quite a few capable scorers in David Perron, Brandon Pirri and Jamie McGinn, among others, and didn't replace them.
Over the last three seasons Jiri Hudler is top-16 in both 5 v 5 points per 60 minutes and 5 v 5 assists per 60 minutes.
He is a consistent point producer, he wouldn't cost a ton and I think he'd be a great fit alongside Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry on the top line.

I think any team that can get Jiri Hudler on a fairly cheap deal will be getting a ton of value. The best fit is a contender that wants to add depth down their lineup - Pittsburgh, Chicago, Dallas would all be nuts not to take a stab.
Also, there is the up and comers like Edmonton, Toronto and Phoenix would could all use a veteran presence who scores a bunch.
Not sure why everyone in the NHL wouldn't want to add Hudler. Sure he isn't going to score 80 points again, but he's pretty useful.
