So if the team doesn't get a great offer for Glencross and chooses not to move him, does that mean we won't win the Cup ever again? Does it mean we are no longer on the path to being a "well built team"?
You are completely lost in your own little world, Table 5. The team isn't selling players just to sneak into the playoffs, so your complaining about how the team was run is irrelevant. But the team - on both the hockey and business sides - certainly would love to make the playoffs. You don't think giving the likes of Gaudreau, Brodie, Monahan a taste of what the post-season is like wouldn't be good for them? It's the exact same thinking that has so many so enamoured with rushing Bennett to the NHL once healthy. Give him a taste...
Like I've said three times now, if we get a really good offer or the team (not fans wanting their shiny new toys now, the
team) is convinced someone is ready to take Glencross' place, you probably pull the trigger. If not, they might well take the chance. But the way to ensure the Flames seriously look at moving Glencross regardless is to start cheering for losses.
So go on then. Start cheering for losses.
