I can answer that one (not that I necessarily agree with the answer). The team has had a better record this season when Glencross was out of the lineup. It's a small sample size and ignores a lot of other factors, but it's something.
Clearly the team has less depth without Glencross, but he has been cold lately, and giving his roster spot to another player probably won't hurt the team much, if any. It certainly makes very little difference compared to losing Giordano.
There's a joke that they used to tell in Russia back in the 90s. One of the brand-new Russian billionaires gets into a terrible car crash and is horribly injured. Seeing that his car has been totalled, he flips out and starts yelling, ‘Bozhe moi! My Mercedes!’
A passerby is appalled to see this. ‘How can you cry about material things? Here you are worrying about a car, and your left arm just got cut off!’
‘It did?’ says the billionaire. Then he looks down at the stump of his arm and flips out again. ‘Bozhe moi! My Rolex!’
Replacing Glencross in the lineup is not the Flames' biggest problem.
