He's not good enough to help the Oilers.

No he isn't, that's why it's so tough for him.

Glencross has been in a steady decline for the last 3-4 years.

At this point, it's not a cap issue as an ELC is likely negligibly cheaper than what Glencross would be commanding from a PTO.

Precisely. When he isn't scoring, he's not good enough to play in NHL.
