First of all, you're totally missing my very small and very simple point that Sharp would be less consistent point wise if he didn't play with other highly skilled players. I never once said Sharp wasn't a better player then Glencross, I wasn't suggesting that at all. I take Sharp every day of the week and twice on Sunday's.
Second of all, Sharp was okay NHL player before he started playing with those two, not very good. He was basically a third line player. He had 20 goals and 30 points and was a -15. Not bad for a 24 year old but hardly the very good player you're pretending he was. It was the next season, the season playing with the teenage Kane and Toews that Sharp really blew out offensively.
Third point... Glencross used to be a player that was dialed in when he didn't have the puck, he was a buzz saw. Unfortunately that was when he was fighting for an NHL job and had something to prove season-to-season.
