It is folklore that King took him for a horseback ride in the mountains and totally fleeced him for a hometown discount. The dollars seemed about right to me for a lower tiered winger with no leadership abilities.

Good luck in breaking the bank on your next (non-hometown discount) contract Curt (just not in Calgary)!
Disagree. Glencross brought more to the table than just points, but even on that basis, there are plenty of underwhelming players pulling $3.5+. I think he could have earned more, but took less for the NMC. That was his choice, no doubt.
I do agree that his current play will cost him some cash. No idea what his number should be.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
