I'm also curious as to how you know this is addition by subtraction, considering that they've played a total of 0 games since the trade?

You make some good points, things I myself use think and ponder about. But then, I read right here on this very site that Glencross was simply not the player he once was, and the Flames would actually be a better team if they played one of the young guys from the farm in his place, and that Glencross was actually occupying their spot on the roster because he was an on contract veteran. So, seeing this trade go down was reliefbon many levels. One, more picks for the future and two, it will finally force Hartley to have to play one of the true deserving players we have on the farm in place of an on contract vet, making us a better team in the process.
