The only way I can see he get's a relatively massive pay raise is if Burke/Treliving see him as a anchor on the left side with intangible qualities. Anything more than $4 million and I'm not sure there's much more benefit.
Also, an extension should be no longer than 3 years. Max.

This is very selective stat picking. The 2012/13 season was shortened. Glencross put up 26 points in 40 games, which is well above a 40 point pace.
Last year he put up 24 in 38, also well above a 40 point pace.
He sprained his ankle last year and missed almost have the season due to it. I really don't see this drop in production everyone is talking about. He's consistently maintained about a 40-50 point pace, which is what he is. The only real deviation was in 2011/12, where his production went up. This was largely as a result of the lack of depth in the Flames top 6, which forced him into a top line role at times.
