Glencross (Age 29):
2009-2010: 15-17-33 (67 Games)
2010-2011: 24-19-43 (79 Games)
Signed: 2.6M/4 years

Fleischmann (Age 27):
2009-2010: 23-28-51 (69 Games)
2010-2011: 12-19-31 (45 Games)
Signed: 4.5M/4 years

Leino (Age 28):
2009-2010: 6-5-11 (55 Games)
2010-2011: 19-34-53 (81 Games)
Signed: 4.5M/6 years

Ryder (Age: 31):
2009-2010: 18-15-33 (82 Games)
2010-2011: 18-23-41 (79 Games)
Signed: 3.5M/2 years

Cole (Age 33):
2009-2010: 11-5-16 (40 Games)
2010-2011: 26-26-52 (82 Games)
Signed: 4.5M/4 years

Ward (Age 31):
2009-2010: 13-31-34 (71 Games)
2010-2011: 10-19-29 (80 Games)
Signed: 3M/4 years

Upshall (Age 28):
2009-2010: 18-14-32 (49 Games)
2010-2011: 22-12-34 (82 Games)
Signed: 3.5M/4 years


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.
