I'm at the point in my career where I want to win a Cup. I love what’s going on here and I have a lot of good friends in this dressing room and we have a good group of guys. We play for the 20 other guys in this room every night. And if it comes to a situation where I am going to have to leave, I’m going to miss a lot of guys in here.
But I’ve gotta think about what’s best for myself and my family.

The bolded part is what really stuck with me right before Glencross was traded.
He:
a.) didn't seem to genuinely believe the team had a chance at the playoffs, even though they were right in the thick of a playoff race at the time he said this, and
b.) didn't seem to understand his value at this stage of his career.
Its really unfortunate, but it happens to a lot of players, having to leave them game before they want to. I wish him the best. Although his skills (and body) deteriorated over the last few years, I believe he gave it his all. Good luck to him.
