Fleischmann (Age 27):

2010-2011: 12-19-31 (45 Games)

Cole (Age 33):

2010-2011: 10-19-29 (80 Games)

Most of the contracts came back to bite the teams in the butt, but it's hard to argue that he didn't leave a significant amount on the table when Leino, a player with exactly one decent regular season (didn't even crack 20 goales) and one good playoffs, was able to get a 27M dollar contract that off-season.

Someone else on Reddit did a similar comparison as this one and their conclusion was that Glencross didn't take a hometown discount with his last contract.
