Pros and cons to Glencross:
Pros:
A bargain of a contract
Can be counted on to put up 25+ Goals
Great for line-matching
Fast and great on the PK (not so much on the PP though)
Gritty - will even drop his mitts now and then
Cons:
Freakin' inconsistent (which is why he is a bargain)
Pouty
Lazy at times and gives you next to zero effort
Keep him during a rebuild? Both yes and no make sense. He is perfect for sheltering the rookies and being able to take the tough matchups. Put Glencross with any center, and he will make that center have a good year (Jokinen, Stajan).
However, do you want him as a leader where the kids have to look up to him? I don't.
So, Glencross is the type of player you keep until you get an offer you can't refuse. I would trade him for this year's 2nd, and next year's first. Could be a lottery pick!
Either way, ball is in his court - he controls his destiny.
