I'd rather have a 32g 60pt player than a 17g 55pt player. As a spectator, I think Glencross is way less of a player than he was in 2011/12. He may be on pace for a "career year" but he's not as good as he once was.

Dude, people get older and slow down. Linemates change. If he plays more games, and gets more points that is what counts.
Pace as you lay it out means almost nothing next to actual stats. He could have slumped the 15 games he missed due to injury in the season that you cited, it's all what if.
