I think too much gets made out of Glencross' ice-time demands.

He didn't publicly complain, he was asked by a reporter if he wished he was playing more when it became known we were shopping him. He answered honestly that yeah, he would prefer to be playing bigger minutes and helping the team more.

What was he supposed to say? "No I don't want to be playing more"?

However it is pretty clear the Glencross camp had very unrealistic contract expectations given how things have played out.

He was a great soldier for us, but it was clear his time ran out here. I hope he lands somewhere.
