Confirmed with Link: Curtis Glencross Traded to Washington for 2nd&3rd Round Picks

[InfinityIggy]

I have a feeling due to Glenx's restrictions on which teams he will waive to, that its really going to limit his return. At this point a 3rd + C Prospect would not surprise me at all.

 

[TheHudlinator]

waiting to the deadline can backfire too, like it did last year with Cammalleri. If some idiot GM holds his player too long while values plummet (like Snow did with Vanek) and the market crashes.

This is true but unlike last year there doesn't seem to be a big rental everyone wants.

I know it's less likely, but we never expected it last year either

Well by deadline day we did

Your right it is possible but I think of all the rentals GlenX maybe one of the most wanted due to his playing style (if he wants to play for those teams is another story), I think with so few teams selling decent players this year that waiting until the last few days maybe the most beneficial.

But I don't want to move GlenX so I maybe biased

I don't really want to move him either and I think it's a poor idea to do so unless someone overpays.

We agreed on this, and because of the NTC I can't see us creating a bidding war big enough to get someone to overpay. I would match rather try to sign him to a shorter term deal with a big cap hit.

I'd rather let him walk, I think we do need his roster spot next year but I also think we need his help this year. He's more important than more fans give him credit for.

I'm hoping we can move Raymond and bring back GlenX but I doubt it.

I think Raymond has a lot more to show over a healthy season, I also like that he can play both wings more effectively than Glencross.

What is the likelihood based off all the talk that he is traded? 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%?

Well since I have no inside information I will say my gut feeling is 65-35 in favor of him being moved.

75/25 that he is moved, imo.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

62.35% he is moved. 37.65% he isn't moved.

 

[CraigsList]

62.35% he is moved. 37.65% he isn't moved.

Why the obscure numbers ?

 

[Lunatik]

62.35% he is moved. 37.65% he isn't moved.

 

[Taranis]

Despite my personal belief on moving him I'd say in reality its 60/40 hes moved.

 

[FlamesFan18]

62.35% he is moved. 37.65% he isn't moved.

TSN probability of being moved secret formula right?

 

[Calculon]

95% he is, 5% he's not.

Exploratory contract talks were apparently shutdown quickly. No contract talks whatsoever after that. Asked for a list, which was provided and then later expanded at the teams request. Both sides working to increase the size of that list. Meanwhile at least two teams (CHI, MTL) are rumoured to have credible interest. Add in the fact that this whole situation is clearly getting to Glencross and affecting his on ice performance; he's as good as gone. I can't see the team thinking it'd be a good idea to keep him for the stretch when mentally, he seems to be trying to move on.

I'll bet you a frillion-wajillion-bazillion dollars that he's traded.

I would be pissed... to me Treliving still needs to make up for the Bollig trade...

How can you blame Treliving if teams refuse to give up value knowing his list is too short for there to be a bidding war?

Also a regular NHL player for a 3rd round pick is not a bad deal, seriously a 3rd round pick has what a 15, maybe 20 percent chance at ever making the NHL and more often than not those few 3rd rounders that do make it, are no better than Bollig.

 

[CraigsList]

Lol? You make it seem like this 3rd rounder was going to become our franchise player.

 

[FlamesFan18]

I think Bollig is absolutely useless so id rather have a slim chance at a useful player.

Bollig is far from useless

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Bollig is far from useless

Yeah he's worse.
