I'm not one of those guys that's always dumping on Glencross but I feel his value to this team isn't nearly as high as some would like to think. I highly doubt that if the Flames trade him their season would immediately head south as if anything this team has shown the ability to overcome players out of the lineup.
In a perfect world the Flames could retain him (and maybe both parties still can find middle ground on a deal) but economically it's not going to be prudent for this franchise to pay $$$ for an aging vet and rather than repeat last year where the Flames didn't recoup any assets for Cammalleri I feel given this stage of their rebuild it would be most beneficial to acquire a solid asset if possible. Obviously if the offers are of the 3rd round pick variety then you hold on to him but they should shop him and if the offers are 2nd round pick or better I feel not trading him would be doing a disservice to the rebuild.
