The implication is that the Flames and Glencross aren't even in the same ballpark given that there haven't been any contract talks for a while.

I read it the same way.
I suspect Glencross wants to be paid like a 1st or 2nd line LW and the Flames see that spot going to Gaudreau. He thinks he will get that as a UFA and is willing to take the chance.
I suspect the Flames want to pay him like a 3rd line LW and are not prepared to go any higher and willing to take the chance to move on.
I will also say that the contract talks seem to have affected Glencross' play more than what I can recall it doing to other players in past years. I think his desire to stay is strong.
