I only quote your post cause it is simple.
The point is, we are still in a rebuild! Its been far more successful than anticipated but don't let the on ice excitement and 3rd period comebacks fool you.
This team does not play a full 60. 30 minutes of great hockey if we are lucky.
We need to move out older players, that aren't cornerstones, for assets still.
Only player over 30 that should not be considered to be moved is Gio.
How far do you honestly think Curtis Glencross is gonna carry this team in the playoffs?! For what Glencross is likely to bring to the dance, another player can likely fill the same roll and in that gain some playoff experience.
Glenny, is not going to get us out of the first round. He is not our sleeper, he is not our "ace in the hole". He is an aging asset that will bring a decent return instead of losing him for nothing or requiring overpayment to retain.
You move him. Period.
