Curtis Glencross Retires
Andrew Walker @FAN590Walker 18s18 seconds ago
#Leafs sign Curtis Glencross to PTO for camp.
Best place to get a full time gig this year. Good to see.
EDIT: On with eh Avs now, seems to look like he'll get a deal there.

Well, at least he gets a chance at a contract. I hope Curtis realizes that he isn't as good as he thinks he is and actually starts busting his ass again. As much as I dislike the Leafs, it would be good to see him do well there and earn 3 or 4 year deal to finish his career.

This has to be a little tough on his ego. I wish him the best and I hope he helps the leafs get to 9-10 (not because I don't like him but because I hate the leafs. If he does become a member of the leafs, I will have to revisit the not hating portion of that statement).

I really thought he was going back to Edmonton as a bottom 6 player who can contribute and help out that young core.

For some reason I had a hunch he would end up in a Leaf uniform.
The trade looked good then, it looks even better now that the guy we traded can't even get a contract without a PTO first.

That would have actually benefited the Oilers. He's exactly the kind of guy they need to shake things up there. (assuming he starts playing like he can again)
Good thing he's going East.

On the bright side Toronto is the place to get noticed if you have a bounce back season.

Babcock should be able to get Glencross going again. If not, good luck finding work in the NHL again Curtis.

Edmonton didn't want him:
@NHLbyMatty: Understand Oilers considered Glencross on PTO but will go with their own signed forwards first. Draisaitl will get look on wing on 3rd line

He didn't seem happy to play that role here, why would he elsewhere?
Good luck with the Leafs though, hope he gets a contract.

I believe in the Jays.
|
He'll be in tough to get any ice-time there. James van Riemsdyk, Leo Komarov, Daniel Winnik, & Shawn Matthias are the LW currently in place in TO and I don't think I take Glencross over any of them.

Hope Curtis can find his game in Toronto, if not hopefully he plays well enough to earn some interest from another team.

I'm putting on the most fire ######ent of flame suits here, but why wouldn't the Canucks offer him a spot?
 
Wait. Curtis has more pride than to play for that flailing pile of diving divers?

I kind of thought that he would end up in Winnipeg, seemed like they could use a decent middle 6 LW.
Would have been a good fit on that team IMO.
Right now on LW the only real lock is Ladd. Perreault plays LW but can also be a center. Ehlers might not stick at the NHL level, and Thorburn is a 4 liner with limited upside.

Crazy that he had to sign a PTO. I like Brad Treliving. Can we keep him?
