I've often wanted to do this just to see what would happen. Just pop into a thread and post:

You're wrong.

People would blow up because so many people think that their opinion on something is fact.

If we look at the facts right now, Glencross was on the Flames and stated he wanted to cash in (or not take a discount) or whatever. He apparently turned down a contract from the Flames (I'm pretty sure I read that in a thread, I could be wrong though) and turned it down. It's September 11th. Glencross has had almost 2 and a half months to get a contract but instead he's trying to make a team that will likely have a lottery pick.

He was good and serviceable in his time, but that time has long since passed. His leadership wasn't that important considering the team did better after he'd been traded to another team. He played terrible to end the season and into the playoffs, was a healthy scratch and was a direct cause of one of the major goals against the caps in the playoffs.

He was good. He isn't good now. Maybe he can find his game again but by the looks of it, he'll be in tough to be anything more than a roster filler (or plug as IgiTang said).
