I think what a lot of fans are missing is here is the hindsight is 20/20 and different teams, coaches and management react differently to different players.
When Glencross signed his deal he was a steal at $2.5 mil and provided some grit, scoring and veteran leadership for a low contract. His last few years weren't great production wise in Calgary but that doesn't mean he wasn't worthwhile and valuable to the team.
Remember Calgary Pucks favorite whipping boy Matt Stajan? Everybody wanted this guy railroaded out of Calgary with his $3.5 mil contract and lack of production under Sutter. Now with a $3 mil contract and under coach Hartley all of a sudden he is a proven vet, helping out the young kids and chipping in where he can. As far as I am concerned players don't change as much as we fans think sometimes. They stay the same, just different matters lead to different opinions.
Just my $.02
