I don't hate Glencross, but I'd like to see him gone. For me, its the same argument as Cammaleri. Good guy in the room, under appreciated a bit by fans, production pretty good. But I think he's replaceable and I don't think we'll miss him. Hudler, Raymond, Gio, Engelland, Wideman, Stajan. We have enough vets. As for his roster spot, Gaudreau, Hudler, Raymond and Colborne can be the primary top 2 line wingers. Then you potentially add Jooris, Ferland and maybe Sven as depth we already have. Then you potentially consider some of the prospects having an amazing training camp like Jooris and Granlund did and earning roster spots. Poirer, Bennett, Hanowski etc. Then you consider that we can add another proven NHLer in the off season through the free agency market.
I wouldn't be disappointed to see him back, but I do think we should either look to trade him at the deadline(depending on our league position) or keep him and let him walk in the summer.

Yeah, in another thread I suggested Colborne as a possibility or move Backlund over since we seem to have young centres knocking on the door. Personally I don't think Raymond can handle the duties of going against other teams top lines.
