Has never broken 50 points.
Has broken 45 points once.
Has broken 20 goals twice in his career. 25 goals once.
Is about to turn 32 years old and is on pace for for less than 15 goals and if lucky enough to stay healthy, which is unlikely as history has proven, will score maybe 40 points.
How in the world does that command 5M/
It doesn't and when you consider his attitude, I cannot see many teams offering anything close to that on the open market.
And I for one hope he moves on and someone with a legit chance as a bonafide top 6 chance takes his place.

2 words: Benoit Pouliot
Here are some players making between $4 million and $5 million.
Pouliot
Bryan Bickell
Drew Stafford
Jussi Jokinen
Ales Hemsky
Nikolai Kulemin
Milan Michalek
David Jones
P.A. Parenteau
Chris Stewart
TJ Oshie
David Perron
How many of those guys would you take over Glencross right now? I think Oshie, maybe Perron, and maybe Jokinen. I think the right price for Glencross is $4 million to $4.5, but you know someone will overpay to have him. He's a quality veteran with a good two-way game, provides good leadership, and has good character. In today's market, it would not be a stretch at all for him to make $5 million a year for 3-4 years.
