I think the fact that the Flames are bidding for a PO spot way ahead of schedule has clouded some folks' memory of what they are trying to do. It's the second full year of the rebuild. It's when older players should not be offered big money and term because the attempt is to get younger, faster and bigger (so far it's two out of three). Signing Glencross to what he wants according to all reports is just not in keeping with the plan laid out by Treliving. Losing him for nothing as a UFAS is undesirable.
