What if Glencross would re-sign for 5 years @ $3.5M? Everyone just assumes he's going to leave, I know he's said that he won't take a discount but who knows really. Maybe he likes where this team's headed, as we all do, and wants to be part of the leadership group. Maybe his perfect role is an excellent 3rd line / checking LW with upside behind Gaudreau and Baertschi.
Long term:
Gaudreau-Bennett-Poirier
Baertschi-Monahan-Hudler
Glencross-Backlund-Colborne
Bouma-Jooris-Ferland
Yes I know there are many scenarios. Where is Granlund, Klimchuk, Jankowski, etc. The above is just a suggestion/pipe dream, ie. assuming Bennett/Poirier become legit 1st line players. But I for one see a role for Glencross as a great 3rd line LW if we can get him at a reasonable price.
