Besides sentimental reasons for Iggy and Kipper, I don't wish any of those players were here. For better or worse, it's time to close that chapter of Flames history, and look forward to the next generation.
Glencross is not part of that next generation, and we need an exit strategy. Right now he's one of our most valuable assets, but with his age, won't be here by the time things turn around. Whether it's now, at the trade deadline, or next year....we need to do what we can to maximize return on him.
Until then, we hope he plays the best hockey of his life. But it's completely to build up value, not be an answer to our problems.
