I hope he does well and earns a spot. Contrary to popular belief, 32 isn't that old. He can still carve out a long career if he adapts and is willing to play the role in front of him. Babcock loves his vets and is more then willing to play them as long as they fit his system. I always thought Glencross would have been a good fit with Detroit and if the Leafs play that style, I don't see why he can't succeed.
A re-invigorated Glencross is a good player. Hard nosed, a wicked shot and gritty as hell. I think his days as a top 6 guy are done, especially on a rebuilding team like the Leafs. But I think he's still a solid bottom 6 guy who can slot into the top 6 or special teams when needed
I wish him nothing but luck. He gets a rough go on CP, and wrongfully so.
