In 1993-94, Kudelski had a breakout season, where in 42 games with Ottawa, he had 26 goals and 41 points. His time with the Senators came to an end though, as the club traded Kudelski to the Florida Panthers for Evgeny Davydov, Scott Levins, the Panthers sixth round draft pick in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft, and the Dallas Stars fourth round draft pick, previously acquired by Florida, in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft.
