I think jbo is a number two defender on an elite team. The same cannot be said for Wideman or Gio and we don't know about Brodie yet but I see him as a good 3/4 but struggling as a 1/2. So if we trade Jbo we have 3 2nd pairing defensemen and need two top pairing defensemen. If we keep Jbo we only have 1 gaping hole in our defense.
I would rather look at moving Glencross to get a 1st and a prospect. He is the most valuable guy on our roster left.

Really not a lot of point holding onto your biggest asset that may or may not want to sign here after next season when your team will be fighting for the 1'st overall pick for the next couple seasons.
Also I wouldn't hold your breath on Glencross, he is about as untouchable as it gets considering he signed to stay in Alberta for a pretty substantial discount compared to what he could have got on the open market, and he has a NTC. Glencross won't be going anywhere.
