Why are we trading this guy?!?

Because he has lost his spot to younger payers and because the flames and most fans don't want to lock him up on a big money long term deal.
If Glencross is willing to sign a one year deal at $5 million, I bet the flames might consider that, but it's about the push from the young kids and keeping cap space available for the future which they will need if everything goes according to plan.
