Your going to toss out an Alberta boy, who already took a discount to be here, so you can replace him with someone less expensive? And hope he gels better with the team.
That's merely shuffling deck chairs, Glencross can score 25 and play physical, but he does need a playmaker on his line.

I personally get real tired of the old "he took a discount to play here" card. He wanted to be playing in Calgary as much as the Flames wanted him. He loves the fact he can be running his ranch on his off days... As far as I'm concerned, the Flames don't owe him anything.
You make a point that he made two incredible tape to tape passes leading to goals this season...... How many terrible passes and terrible giveaways has he had this year or last year that have lead to goals being scored against the Flames? I'd be curious to see those stats.
Long story short, I like the fact he's back to playing a physical game this season and grinding things out a bit more... But with that being said, there's no way in hell I'd be re-signing him for the supposed money and term he's looking for.
