As it is a rental player situation, who is willing to give up a beneficial roster piece to add Curtis?
I say we don't trade him, we need him for the playoffs. He can use the playoffs to up his value, and if he walks, he walks. At least we go into the playoffs with all of our weapons.

Well, according to Friedman...ANA, PIT, BOS, and WIN have interest.
The notion that we automatically get worse without Glencross is hasty. He was excellent prior to the knee injury that sidelined for most of the last month or so...and the team went
6-3 anyway during that time. Doesn't seem like they missed him too much.
Yes, he contributes, but he's not instrumental to the team's success as the core pieces. If Gio, Monahan, or Johnny looks injured during a game, CP freaks out. Not as much for Glencross. Why? Because he's simply not as vital to the success of this team going forward - either regular season or in a playoff run.
As I mentioned in the PGT, Glencross has been inching down the depth chart. Johnny tore him apart in points, Bouma's making his case recently to be Glencross's role replacement, Sven's pushing in the AHL for a LW spot...you get the idea.
