People saying that Curtis Glenncross only pulls in a 3rd or only a 2nd are going to be way off if he is traded.

A comparable LW trade in recent time was Ryane Clowe back in 12-13. He had an injury riddled couple of season previous and before that trade he had 11 pts (assists) in 28 games and he was UFA that next summer. Clowe was traded for a 2nd, 3rd and a conditional 2nd to a playoff team.
Reminder that his highest points in a season was 38 in a FULL 82 games.

Sure Glenncross is 2 years older than Clowe was when traded but Glenncross puts up better numbers, is an assistant captain, plays top 6, and has a less lucrative salary hit than Clowe did.

Based on that IMO Glenncross will fetch:
A) a 1st alone
B) a 2nd and B prospect
C) packaged with another player and picks for an A- or B+ player
