What's your kijiji user name, wondering if you have anything for sale?

So getting a 2nd for Glencross is ok but getting a player who was a 2nd rnd pick is absurd? Really?

He's going to be a good bottom 6 player for the Ducks or whichever team he plays his career for. Nothing to get overly excited about if he was the return for Glencross as he would be another bottom 6 forward for the mix although he's a big body.

DSP is better than the average 2nd round pick. He's a full time NHLER. His value has definitely increased from a 2nd round pick. Don't think you'd want a 4th round pick in return for Gaudreau.

I think you aim higher than him with a 1st round pick though. Backland is better and it's not like he was a homerun 1st round pick for this franchise.

Yeah, I doubt any GM would trade a 1st round pick for Smith-Pelly.....sure he's an NHLer but I bet most GM's would rather gamble that they can find and develop a higher ceiling NHL player with a 1st round pick.

Nothing to get excited about? Landing DSP would be a steal for Glencross. That trade isn't happening.

So what if the trade isn't happening? I hope you are right as I would rather get a 2nd round pick or more to draft a defenseman as this team doesn't need more bottom 6 forwards it needs defensive depth in the organization.

I don't even know where you got a 1st round pick from. If it was part of another proposed deal I didn't see it. I only spoke on DSP, 2nd round pick and Glencross.

Probably because you said that DSP's value had increased from a 2nd round pick. Next step up from that is a 1st round pick.

Unless you mean 2nd + 3rd or something like that.

Has anyone heard what the talking heads on tv, radio hosts, or media ink, think glencross return could be?

I go to many sites and all I ever see is that he is in demand but never what they think he is worth. I just find it odd because they seem to put a value on just about every other trade bait player. Not saying what they think is gospel , just wanted to know. I did hear The Calgary hockey writer who's last name starts with D ( I forgot his name) said a 2nd would be a home run.

Well lucky for you Glencross isn't landing DSP. But if he could you'd be dumb not to take the deal. You could always flip him as part of a package to land a dman.

I just mean his value is no longer a 2nd round pick. Whatever that is who knows but he is not the equivalent of a 2nd round pick. A good percentage of 2nds bust. He's already a full time NHLER.

Duhatschek said a 2nd. Other than that, nothing really comes to memory. an sifting through this thread since Glencross came out in the media about it is a little too daunting for me.

Kind of. Just 10 years younger and trending upward not downward and not looking at a big raise next year.

1. What percentage of players taken in the 2nd round end up being NHL regulars? 2. He has made the roster of the powerhouse Anaheim ducks, not a rebuilding team. 3. He is only turning 23 this calendar year he is super young. 4. Is a playoff performer already at this age 5. What dont you get that the ducks will never trade him straight-up for GlenX??

So the score right now is :
Eric Duhatschek 2nd round pick
Elliotte Friedman 2nd round pick + prospect

Known suitors and best possible outcome :
Tampa Bay Brett Connolly
Chicago Mark McNeill or Steven Johns
Nashville ?
Los Angeles Derek Forbort or Adrian Kempe
Anahiem Devante Smith-Pelly

To attain the highest return, Calgary would have to add. Hanowski and a really nice bottle of Scotch? I'd think that the highest returns would come from our own division, because of the potential for biting us in the rear. Likely he ends up out of division.

Also, a beat reporter for the New York Rangers has suggested interest, although it is not known if NY is on Glencrosses list.

Hopefully this helps thin out the need to go through dozens of pages to find out what the media is saying, and what player discussions have been on here recently. I also might have missed some discussion.

Full disclosure, the L.A. return is my own wish list, and the others were suggested by other posters, although I don't have the wherewithal to go and find out who. Also, we can just that DSP will cost Glencross, Hanowski and 60 year limited Glenlivet, to save further argument.
