My logic was that a trade to Edmonton would allow Glencross to stay close to his ranch. I didn't consider that Glencross might have hurt feelings still from not being re-signed. That seems like a long time ago but I suppose its possible that those hurt feelings linger?
From Edmonton's perspective, Glencross would be an immediate injection of grit and scoring in their top six. Those are both needs for them. Nurse will be years away from contributing. Although, I take the point that they really need help on defense more than anything.
In any event, my proposal was more of a utopian vision (wherein Edmonton of course continues to suck and not address their real problems) than anything else.
Whatever. Screw you guys.
