If the Flames don't want to meet his contract demands he leaves in the summer. He holds all the power

Please remind me, who just won the Stanley Cup? We're not talking about Columbus here. Even if they so happen to be a single point behind us.
Yeah that seemed to be the case when he re-upped a few years ago, but GlenX's contract is up soon, he's getting older, and he hasn't had contract talks with the Flames recently. What makes you think he wouldn't consider waiving for the defending champs, of all teams? He can't expect his home province team to keep him on as their top left-winger that much longer with even more new talent entering the fold over the next season or two. It's a nice convenience for him, but one he can't expect to last.
This game is a business, and sometimes that doesn't align with someone preferences. I'm sure Glencross knows that fully.
