I'm not his biggest fan but let's be 100% fair to Glencross: he might have not had 30 points last season or the season before but it's not like he had much chance of it given the number of games played in either. The first of those two years was a lockout and hitting 30 in that year is akin to going over 50 typically...so his production is right in line with the years before in the prorated 40-50 region. The second (last season) was a pretty bad year in terms of Glencross' health. He had a very short period of healthy play and produced at his typical level in the time he was healthy. Getting even remotely close to 45-50 points would put him in the over a point per game production.
His points totals in Calgary this year, like above, seem to fit the trend of his normal production if we extend to his typical 70-80 games. So I think it's fine to say that his production around 40-45 points is fairly constant.
I will say though that I didn't mind him being traded: he didn't seem to fill any spectacular need in Calgary and I honestly couldn't say he looked good on ice despite his point production (which is a good case against what I say above as points aren't everything to a player's game).
