I'm saying is you just don't get rid of a player who is producing without a plan to replace him. Well maybe you do if you hate the guy, like some around here.

Who replaced Cammy? He was our clear cut top point producing player and the team didn't go out and replace him with anyone in particular and the team has improved because the team has come together and is scoring by committee with younger players taking a step forward. If Glencross isn't on the team next year, someone will replace him much like someone replaced Cammy.
Also, if Glencross is traded there will be assets coming back. If those assets are just draft picks then someone from the system or free agency will have to take his place but we may also get a player who can step right in his spot.
Regardless, you keep saying that someone has to replace him and that we shouldn't get rid of him until we know who. That's not true. The team will have to see who takes the spot because just giving it to someone isn't the right thing to do and this team doesn't work that way. Essentially, there will be a "top line" spot available for grabs and whoever deserves it will get it.
