We trade him because he stone cold. We trade him because play is in line with 3rd line player. He then complain when being played on 3rd line. We trade him because he UFA in the summer and not going to re-sign.

You were asked whats it like playing with Glencross. Take your own advice and answer the question.

"I don't know why Calgary trade him"

this summer

"I don't know why he don't re-sign"

[Azhouse]

I hope that Washington finds the cap space to sign him to the 4 yr/ $18 mil contract that he is looking for.

Someone on the site predicted Arizona as his destination and the more I think about that, the more it makes sense to me.

Yep, Glencross can still contribute to the Flames by having a big game tonight. Come on Scoreface.

[Heavy Jack]

Really wanted a big game from not just him but the Caps tonight! Just goes to show how much we can't rely on the OOT, its been absolutley brutal of late for us.

Healthy scratch last night. Tells you a lot.

wow, really?

What a fall from what he used to be. He could have gotten paid this summer.

Kind of a cautionary tale for players of his ilk. Get paid while you can, and for players like him, that's not usually after 30.

Should have taken the money when he had a chance.

[killer_carlson]

Vermette was a healthy scratch
Franson was a healthy scratch
Santorelli was a healthy scratch.

Disappointing that Glencross was as well, but it is also apparent that he does not fit in within Trotz' systems. Still a good player in my books.

[FBI]

Yup doubt Washington signs him. Free picks for us woot!

[Bourque's Twin]

It's scary to think that if Glencross were still on the team Ferland or Bennett would most likely not be playing.

[IgiTang]

Self entitled player who didn't necessarily put the team first on the ice. Likely due to taking a pay cut and thinking he's done so much for the club.

Under performed, was never really a leader and was the last remaining part of the old core..

Glad he's gone, super happy we got what we did for him.

He would have been a liability in this round of the playoffs simply by taking up a roster spot that could very well have been the spot Ferland occupies.

Wow that's pretty aggressive.

Glencross was very inconsistent but he bled for the team and had flashes of brilliance along with a wicked snap shot. A true Alberta boy.

Made the right move in trading him and happy with the return, but I hope he finds success.

Ah, the classic Sutter strategy. Glencross was a relic of his tenure.

[Burke Salad]

I wonder if Edmonton would be interested in him?

Glencross was awesome for this team and gave 100% every shift and was under paid...3-4 years ago. For the past couple of years he didn't do anything other than keep the team where it was near the bottom of the standings. Good person or not, he should have been gone from the team a while ago but we got a good return for him this year so that's good. I wish him well but I don't hope he finds success, I hope the Flames find success.

Yawn.... Same old story.. Bled red yada yada... I never saw it... What I did see was a lot of whining after whistles and a guy who dragged his butt and refused to go to the tough areas.

Glencross had a good season and it happened to be with the Flames.. But if he was what you want to consider as a guy who would do anything for a club, look at Fleury, Iginla, Peplinski, McDonald, Makarov, Conroy, Langkow plus many more who truly bled red for the Flames. Glencross is no where near that kind of heart. However, we have a few kids that may very well carry the torch of the previously mentioned and show us again what true heart is, if they haven't already.

You know it's very possible although they have acquired a lot of bottom 6 forwards over the past few years. Also they are getting close to the cap ceiling with the current squad and still need two top pairing defenseman and a starting goaltender.
