I finally got a chance to hear the interview as I drove home from work, and in context, I think it really does sound like Glencross wanted to be a part of this team's future, but that the organization is moving on. I think that is why he hedged when asked if he wanted to stay in Calgary. Saying "yes" is the easy answer, but perhaps hard to say when the team has already said "no", and accentuated the point by asking for a list of teams he would go to. The biggest complaint I might make about Glencross' attitude in that interview is a level of denial about his own abilities at this stage of his career. The Flames know he is declining, so are making way for up and comers, but Glencross still thinks he can be what he was a few years ago.
