Glencross can be replaced as well, maybe with someone we have or otherwise but a lot of posters don't want to take that into consideration when talking about getting rid of him.

I think you're taking things out of context. The people you are referring to are saying that Glencross shouldn't be here next year but they aren't saying he should be replaced. I can only assume that they think someone should replace him and his playing time. I doubt anyone is saying that he should be traded and the Flames should leave an empty roster spot or just play every game shorthanded.
People aren't taking time to say, "we should trade Glencross and replace him" because it's pretty common knowledge that if you trade someone, you replace them.
I think most peoples point is that you don't trade someone and then say that "Player X" is going to be taking Glencross's spot. You trade the player and worry about it after because there are too many factors to come to a forgone conclusion of who the replacement will be.
The Flames are in a spot that they haven't been in a long long time...we have young players in the system that are ready to make the jump and earn a spot on the team. Trade Glencross or let him walk and let one of those young players earn his spot.
