A lot of the other very valid reasons to trade Glencross have already been made and I'd parrot those as well. We do however need to make sure we get a decent deal out of it, as he's worth keeping for a Cup run if the "return" isn't there. Picks would be suitable as well, as it's something we can use for the future which is always a good thing in my mind.
In short, we have FWD depth, don't have D depth, and need D depth for playoffs, plus he won't re-sign here. So make it happen.

I'm all for adding a dman if it's someone who's gonna be around for a while. I don't want to see us wasting assets for playoffs this year. We still need to be thinking long term. Playoffs aren't even a guarantee this year.
