I think you meant "He was a much better player than people are giving him credit for"

He's often injured and takes too many games off. His last contract should have been for more money and this one should be for less. Don't give him a contract based on what he's done for us in the past.

It's time to move forward and think of the future, if they see Glencross as part of the future, what role do you think he'll have? He isn't a top 6 winger when our prospects are ready (which could even be this year). He's a glorified third line guy who can play on the second line.

He's on an amazing contract now and would be a great third line guy on a deep team like the B's or the Ducks. He has more value to the Flames if he's playing on another team and the Flames get assets for him.
