He has comparible stats to first line left wingers like Pasqual Dupuis who makes $3.75. He has much better numbers than other wingers like David Jones, David Clarkson, Nick Folingo, Derik Brassard and others.
You discredit yourself by suggesting he isn't a hell of a bargain at his current salary.
He will be one of the top UFAs on the market this offseason and will cash in big time. IF the Flames are able to convince him to stay - big IF - it will be for more than $4 million per season and be at a huge hometown discount at that price.
Personally I am a big fan of his. As a fan of the Flames I think he fits in well in the market, the team, and leads by example. I hope we keep him. As a fan of Glencross, I hope he goes to the open market and hits an absolute home run in the Eastern Conference.

His present contract is clearly one of the best bargains (outside rookie contracts) in the league. I agree he's goin to sign either here for 4 or elsewhere for more. At his age, though, term is a huge issue (especially with his playing style).
