Glendenning is a niche player that a playoff team could covet.
He is not going to drive the offense, but as a defensive specialist, he does well.
He should be worth a 3rd, possibly a second if several teams are interested.
I'm not sure why this thread got bumped but the answer to your question is because the team is rebuilding.i don't understand why would you trade the guy who brings you energy ,your #1 PK , your best faceoff man , has only 1 point less than 1st line winger . Every game he brings hard work and dedication for his job . I believe he is great model for kids .

They don't need to go to the ends of the earth to try and move him but if there was interest and a decent return then absolutely.
I think it is a third or we don't need to move him. He is a guy that NHL executives, coaches and scouts like more than fans. So I could even see something as a crazy second round pick flying our way. In any event I don't trade him if the best we get offered is a 4th round pick.
David Poile gave up a 1st for Paul Gaustad about a decade ago, in what I think would be a similar situation. A guy that coaches and executives dream of having play on their PK and 4th line, but makes fans eyes gloss over most of the time.
IIRC Gaustad was a rental, too. They had maybe generally agreed that he would extend, but his contract was expiring. Glendening's deal still has term on it.
He gave up a 1st for Ryan Hartman last year.
Hes 28 and the wings are rebuilding.. why wouldnt you?
One of the better faceoff guys in the league, plays a bit chippy and really solid defesnively. A playoff team would see value to a guy like that. It wouldnt be unheard of for him to fetch a 3rd rounder which would help add another prospect for the rebuild

It's not. Glendening is a youngish, bonafide NHL regular. Your chances of hitting that in the 4th or 5th round are awful. There's no reason to go for that unless you just wanna swing for the fences 4 times in the next draft or something.Trading Luke by himself for a 4th or 5th doesn't seem like it would be worth it.

It makes sense at certain ages. If a player is 35 and you're rebuilding there's not very much value in keeping the old guy. At least getting a pick gives you a CHANCE to reload with another draft pick who COULD become another NHL player. But Glendening has at least another 5 years of hockey in him. He's under 30.Thank you, I feel like this point goes routinely ignored. Obtaining a late round pick for a lower end NHL player often means you don't get anything in return in the scheme of things. The notion to "get anything you can for any player" that is widely seen among fans is both foolish and shortsighted
Either way, lots going on behind the scenes there. Only way I could see a comparable situation happening would be a deal specifically with Toronto because Babcock is so enamored by Glendening, they could use the PK/Faceoff help, and if Toronto loses out on the chance to bolster their defense with a sound positional defenseman, they could get desperate for a cheap, steadying addition that will assist the defense up front.
Glen with some retention + our 2019 3rd for TML's 2019 1st doesn't seem outlandish then.
I don't think the majority of the conversation is along these lines, though. Most fans are saying DON'T give him away for a song, but if you can somehow leverage a 2nd rounder or better for him, that's a good deal.Thank you, I feel like this point goes routinely ignored.

Toronto has traded its second-round pick each of the last two springs for fourth line centre help in Brian Boyle (2017) and Tomas Plekanec (2018).
Last year, the asking price from the Red Wings was believed to be a second-round pick, a price that was too rich for then-GM Lou Lamoriello’s blood.
This year, that price would seem to be the starting point, given that older rental Boyle – who has not scored in his last two playoff runs – fetched a second-round pick from Nashville earlier this week.
Brown is a career 32pt/82gp on a offensive juggernaut team, RHS winger who is already 25...why do you want him? I like the RHS part, but what else does he bring to the table? Glendening is our only RHC. I think Luke could hit 32pts on the Leafs & shutdown an opposing 1c/2c. While Brown's #'s are regressing, but maybe that's deployment & TOI...either way his ppg avg would go down in Det.https://www.tsn.ca/trade-bait-leafs-interested-in-red-wings-glendening-again-1.1254421
Same rumors again as year ago.
Maybe this time Toronto pulls the trigger.
I'd like Connor Brown being the piece send to us. That would make cap work better for the Leafs.

I wonder what is trading value for DD?I agree. Luke is one of the few who meets or exceeds expectations on this team. I say keep him unless we get something good like a 2nd or more for him.
If there is anyone on the team I would like to put on the trading block, it would be DDK.
