b. Glencross' impact in making said POs - that's the point about Colborne - he's statistically almost even with Glencross and he's only a 2nd year player basically, and beginning to step it up a lot more.

And I think you are putting way too much stock in whatever the return would be. I've said, if the price is a 1st rounder or better, trade him. I just don't see how this would happen based on rental prices for similar players in the past.
Clearly, we have very different opinions on the value of Glencross to this team, and that's fine. It seems we also have different opinions on how good it would be for the experience of our young players to partake in a playoff race, which you seem to downplay. Trading Glencross doesn't automatically take the Flames out of that race, but I truly think it hurts their chances.
