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.

I would tell Glencross to have fun in free agency if he asked for 5 years, regardless if that $ amount is nice.
