Hah, nice try. I never said that you trade Glencross at any cost. I said you don't trade him just to make the playoffs "if you can get good assets in return". Pretty big difference from what you're trying to paint me as. I might be lost in my world, but at least my world is not about jumping to massive conclusions and thinking that trading Glencross means we are "dumping all our vets and turning into the Oilers". It's never that black and white.
The Flames have made a massive step beyond expectations this year, with or without the playoffs. As a coach and player, you absolutely hope these guys are pushing to make the playoffs....but as a GM, you can't keep changing your plan with every weekly up and down of the win column.
And for those who don't think getting even a 4th rounder is worth it...there are at least two key guys on this Flames team who would tell you otherwise. The draft is still largely a crapshoot, and smart teams hoard draft picks like they are going out of style...it doesn't mean you will automatically turn into the damn Oilers.
