I meant unfortunate for him. I like Glencross.
But yes, it does indicate that the team is on an upswing when a good serviceable player cant make the team.

He's still useful but teams (with good GMs) aren't going going to commit term and big money to a guy like him (ageing, average 3rd liner), especially coming off a bad year. He's probably going to have to accept a series of 1 year, 2m or less contracts from here on out unless he can put up a monster season in 15/16.

I totally agree, so where are those 1 and 2 year small-dollar contracts? Those are a far cry from PTOs!
You're not taking PTos at 32 if there are offers on the table.
