Glencross making his return? I like GlenX but my opinion on him has changed this season. Since Burke is GM, he doesn't have to honor the contract he signed with Feaster. It would be kind of ****** move, but if we could get something of value I wouldn't be against it. I lik ethe way the team is playing and would rather not have him into the lineup. That's just me though.

My opinion has also changed on GlenX. Last year I would have said he was almost untouchable but this year he has been injured a lot and I like the way the team has played without him, if we could get a nice return, a GlenX deal wouldn't bother me in the slightest.he does still have that NTC though and I doubt he waives it

To Calgary's benefit/detriment, most team will look at players like Street and say "if he can't even make Calgary's regular roster, why should I waste my organization's resources on him?"

Doesn't matter what another team offers as long as GlenX has a NMC he is in control. The funny thing is he plays like what he is being payed to play like we are just so use to the top 6 player that GlenX can be when he has someone creating space for him (Jokinen, then Iginla).

Yeah I figured that. I knew about his NMC, and assumed most people knew it. That is why I didn't mention it.

I'm excited to see a healthy lineup
Hudler - Backlund - GlenX
Cammy - Monahan - Stempniak
Bouma - Stajan - Jones
Westgarth - Colborne - McGrattan
Hudler - Backlund - GlenX
Cammy - Monahan - Stempniak
Bouma - Stajan - Jones
Westgarth - Colborne - McGrattan

Hudler and Backlund aren't space makers, which is what Glencross needs to be effective.
Best case scenario: he waives his NMC and gets traded for a pick and a prospect.
Other than that, he'll need to be on a line with Bouma or Jones to do his thing. That is, if he's even motivated, and keeps his game simple. Give him 5 games to get his conditioning back, and if he's not performing, he needs some time on the 4th line.

Never said either were but his physical play could be a nice addition with Hudler. Man you guys give up on guys fast he has had a hard 21 games this year scoring 12 points (pace of 47 points in 82 games) at 2.55 and everyone wants him out. I think he has been fine we just can't expect him to be the ~25 goal scorer.

Yup. Nice post. Except when healthy I'd say we CAN expect a 25 goal scorer.
Also, I would assume that the Flames will also be sellers at the deadline next year. Might as well save some for later.
No point in moving a guy whose value is likely at an all time low. And besides, I really like Glencross.

I've never been a supporter of inconsistent players.
With guys like Glencross and Stempniak it's one of producing or passenger, and you never know which one you're going to get from game to game. I was so happy when Bourque was dealt.
So Glencross took a hometown discount and left ~1M on the table to secure the NMC. He was invisible at best in every game he's played this season, mostly just riding the coat tails of the team and quietly scavenging points.

Best case scenario: he tears it up on Stajans' line (just like last year) and that gives the Flames 2/3rds of an effective line this season and the next

Maybe near the end of the season. Missing half the season won't help, until he gets his conditioning up.

For Glencross to be successful he needs to go back to playing a blue collar game. No more dipsy doodling, trying to be a star. Hes forcing things way too much offensively. But, with his injuries I don't know if he will return to his old game. Either way. Not ready to give up on him.
As for Street, no surprise.. Hopefully he makes it through.

I don't know. He cleared the last time he was waived and I can't remember how long a cleared waiver lasts for
There has to be some veterans on the team. My money is that GlenX lasts longer than Colborne, given that Burke resigned Stajan for 4 years
This what I see happening:
Hudler - Backlund - Stempniak
Cammy - Monahan - Jones
GlenX - Stajan - Colborne
Bouma/Westgarth - Galiardi - McGrattan

I also really liked Colborne on the wing with Monahan. I thought he played a much more noticeable game put in that position.

I agree, I feel he uses his size more effectively crashing the boards on the forecheck rather than having to cover his zone.
