[QUOTE=GranteedEV;5141178]Actually, read my post. I said Iginla assisted on a lot of Glencross' goals. I didn't say his success was due to Iginla's passing. Glencross' success was due to Curtis Glencross.
There are many way to get assists. Passes are one. Rebounds are another. Deflections are yet another.
When I think of Iginla I think "great multidimensional offensive player" not "sniper" or "passer". Here's his numbers in some of Glencross' better years:
Code:
2008-2009 FLAMES 82 35 54
2009-2010 FLAMES 82 32 37
2010-2011 FLAMES 82 43 43
2011-2012 FLAMES 82 32 35
Look at that, as many assists or more pretty much every year as goals. As for Tanguay, He's
also been the finisher on Iginla assists (he IS still a pretty good goal scorer with an absurdly high percentage). That does not
diminish his skillset or his contributions. Like I said before, Glencross benefitted from playing from Iginla (and Monahan this year) and currently is not benefitted from playing with Raymond, Stajan, Jooris for whatever reason that you insist is "disinterest". If you don't think that, then we have nothing more to discuss.

You're joking, right? Because points outside of context are everything?
For starters, Granlund was playing center for the Flames. When discussing wingers, you have to look at Granlund's skillset, where as a winger he's going to be much more effective.
Baertschi? He was playing his season with Bollig, Setoguchi, etc for 8 minutes a night on the fourth line, without even a center. The last time he played a role similar to Glencross, he was putting up 10 points over 20 games, and that was two years ago when he was a twenty year old straight out of Junior without a clue about the pro game (he's a much BETTER player now).
And the other guys? Wolf seemed more effective in his two games than Glencross has since his return from injury. Glencross has 0 points in the last 4 games too, by the way.
We can't know "FOR SURE" what Glencross brings to the table on a given night, either. Or even Sidney Crosby for that matter.

Then why aren't you the coach? If Sven and Granlund can fetch us all these points on a better line we need to fire Hartley immediately, he obviously does not know what they are doing.
On that note, did I go extreme to prove a point? Yes. And I totally get what you are saying.
All I am saying is we don't FOR SURE have 6 guys who can immediately step in and replace Glencross' production. And if the price is right we should most definitely trade him, however I don't think we should move him for a low price for the sake of moving him.
