They also do not fit our style of play which is the bigger overarching complaint you and @Ryder71 seem to be missing.
I guess Ryan previously did.

what I think is more accurate to say is that McCann shouldn’t be a bottom six center...he does alright for a time in the top six, but he can’t be relied upon as a center in the bottom six for this team, which take more defensive assignments...that really limits his strengths imo...he can be a winger or a top six center for a period of time

This has to be the most anyone has ever talked about Glendening in his life.
Even I have two posts about him now.. what the f*** is wrong with me.

There has been multiple Steve Dangle podcasts about him.

Like, I know Glendening has subpar possession numbers, but how much of that is because of how atrocious the Red Wings are? And how much is due to him starting two-thirds or more of his shifts in the defensive zone? Put him on the Penguins with a different structure and more support, and suddenly those possession numbers might look different.

That's why nuance and context here is important. He's playing on a bad team. So logically one would assume his other numbers might suffer as a result. Taking a faceoff is a one on one exercise. If once you win the draw you have a linemate that turns it over or makes a bad read that could reflect poorly on you (even though you won the draw).

That would explain why I’ve never seen or heard anyone talk about him.

We're approaching the TDL. So his name has been brought up quite a bit. They talked him up today on NBC in their game.
Saying they don't matter at all is a bit out there for me.
But I will say that in general, the correlation between winning them and winning games is so marginal, if there at all, that they don't really matter.
And that where they do matter are those handful of specific situations, like Empty Net, where ten-twenty seconds of possession can really change a game, and that working out who's actually good at those situations is difficult because of small samples - and then working out whose ability there actually justifies being on the ice ahead of a player who's generally better is even harder.

Am I missing something or wasn't Sullivan already giving Gaudreau more minutes than Jankowski?
Why do we need someone else to also replace Jankowski?
This roster pretty clearly needs one piece, max, so let's maybe aim a bit higher than the Glendenings and Sheahans. They aren't making the difference in a playoff series over Gaudreau

If you want a cheap and easy target, get Bennett for like a 4th + meh prospect or someone like Sceviour. If you want to really take a run at this thing, see if you can land Hall for a price that makes sense (I don't think you can) and hope like Hell he's motivated to prove everyone wrong (I'm not sure he is).
Other than that, who even gives a shit?

I love pushing the buttons for people on here but arguing about a 4C seems excessive even for my standards
I'll have no strong feelings on if they add Glendening.

Have said before that I'm not sure that Bennett would work out here
But I am confident that he would make the playoffs more fun to watch, and it's all for entertainment so I am firmly pro-Bennett

There's a chance he could bring a Kunitz-lite style to a Geno-Kap line that would be great--if it works out, big if. If not, he's a bottom-6 guy who brings some physicality and doesn't seem to wilt in the playoffs. If he fails in that regard, you scratch him and forget he exists.
A line with Bennett and Tanev running around punishing people on the forecheck would be fun to watch.
