Glencross is currently wearing a bullet proof vest in the form of a NMC, so if you don't like the player, or his play you have only two options: Trade him with his consent, or make him a healthy scratch. Now if the coaching stuff/management decides on the later, it will only lower his value in a potential trade.

Doesn't everyone remember how during pre-season/summer everyone was saying he has one of the best value contracts in the league, and therefore Glencross is worth a great deal for any team as long as he is on his game. Why are you all so eager to either sell low, or lower his value even further then?

We should at least wait until the trade deadline before making any obvious/public moves regarding Glencross. Does anyone really think that the coaching stuff doesn't discuss Glencross' play with Glencross? Just because the average fan has noticed something wrong doesn't mean the coaching stuff didn't! Glencross might be having a bit of a harder time with this year's system. His role is slightly changed, so did the quality of opposition, the A is an added weight on his shoulders.

I am trying not to make excuses for Glencross, and I have seen lazy play from him more often than any other player this season, I just know(believe) that as soon as things will start going his way his play in all three zones will improve. After all didn't we as fans get into this season with the promise to be patient, lets not break it after the first 10 games.

What people think on this message board has absolutely no bearing on his trade value. Surely you know that
