In addition to the fact that losing Glencross right now makes us worse. (I know some people don't think so, but I think they're in the magic bean club.)
I do agree our drafting is measurably better. So I'll even give you a 33% chance. I'm still not crazy about making that move.
In sum, I'm firmly against the "get whatever you can get" mindset given how important I think it is to make the playoffs this year and that Glencross helps in achieving that.

Glencross could very well fetch a 2nd so I'd gladly take that. A lot of quality players get drafted in the 2nd round. As for the later rounds I was simply stating that I think they have more value than people give them credit. Playoffs would be nice this year but building a contender is my focus so I'd prefer to get an asset that helps us long term as opposed to keeping Glencross which only benefits us for the rest of this year. Glencross hasn't exactly been lighting it up this year either so I don't think we will miss him and whoever steps in will likely be just as good.
