Good points all. Its hard to write an article like this because its in a vacuum, without the knowledge of what the Devils might do or even the time to consider all 100s of possibilities that could accompany It. Like is a team asking for the Devils to add Glass as part of a bigger package for an impact guy. Thats unlikely for Kyrou, but maybe someone else. In a vacuum, I agree it would be really hard to give up legitimate center depth
Maybe the organization thinks Matyas Melovsky is the 4C of the future, or they have their eyes on a 3C/emergency 2C trade target that can push Glass down to the 4C position. I can’t justify trading Glass though, and Bjugstad would probably be the best 4C stopgap option anyway if Melovsky needs a little bit more time to develop.

I was thinking that as well re: Melovsky. I do like his game but I think he’s probably another year+ out from making the transition to the NHL.
I would certainly not be opposed to pushing Glass down, but moving on from him seems like malpractice to me.
