Sure we don't have a ton of defensive depth but it isn't like Smid or Wideman are providing good play for us. Bring in Diaz and Wotherspoon and the quality doesn't drop off. Worse case scenario we finish 25th instead of 23rd, no big deal.

Glencross being a pending UFA hurts his value no doubt about it. Who is giving up top assets for a 33 year old they will need to shell out big bucks for to keep? Who is giving up more than a 2nd for a guy you will have for a portion of the season and the playoffs? He is not an elite player at all.
Hudler has a ring and is more than one dimensional. He also has 2 years left on his deal at a cap friendly contract. If you think changing Wideman with Diaz is no change you don't watch the Flames play
