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.
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.
