GM's look far deeper into players than what has he done since December.
Which is why Glencross got the return he did.

So basically we're agreeing, they're trading for the player he is now, not what he was 5-6 seasons ago. This season isn't "since December" btw, it's since October.
He's been a floater on this season for over 2 seasons now. Lazy, ineffective.
The higher return can easily be chalked up to the zaniness that is the trade deadline.
