My thoughts:

If we can nab a first round pick or a legitimate NHL ready and high quality prospect, then we trade him.

If we cannot and we are in shouting distance of a playoff spot, I keep him. Letting our young guys play high pressure, high stakes games down the stretch is valuable and Glencross increases our chances of winning. If we can squeak into the playoffs, the experience is much more beneficial than a 2nd round pick.

If we are not in shouting distance of a playoff spot, we trade him for the best offer, including a potential sign and trade where we sign and pay a signing bonus or something like that to increase his trade value by using our cap space.
