I don't like the Oiler comparisons in this thread, but one thing they do consistently is overvalue (and overpay) their assets, leading to disappointment when they back themselves into a corner and make a trade.

Treliving appears to like the max 3 year deals when dealing with UFAs (which I agree with). I don't think there is a point in offering a 1 year or 2 year deal to Glencross, because there is zero chance he would take it. Is $5 million a lot for Glencross? Yes, but UFAs are always going to cost more than their RFA comparables. I wouldn't even bother offering him a contract except that he's one of the few top-9 players on this team that can play in the tough areas.
I think you're undervaluing Raymond's value in the trade market. For a guy that can get 15 goals and 40 points I don't think his contract is terrible and would require the Flames to eat salary.
