I bet he'll be looking for a new agent soon...

I feel sorry for the guy but there is no room for him at all. Perhaps he can saddle up with Iggy & the rest of the country-club crew down in Denver...
I am not sure what (if any) offers were made, but I do know that Treliving was actively trying to re-sign Glencross, but the demands from the Glencross camp was much higher than Treliving was willing to go. Whether that means term, dollars or both, I have no idea. Whatever Glencross was demanding was very far from what Treliving was thinking of retaining him for, and negotiations just stopped I think before the mid-season mark IIRC. I am sure someone knows more, but just what I have to offer anyways.

Still surprised that Toronto cut him. Doesn't bode well for him getting another opportunity somewhere else. Arizona maybe? Columbus (I think they got hit with another 6 injuries at the moment, but no idea what any of the timetables are). I can't really think of too many rosters that have more room than Toronto does at the moment, especially factoring in how many contract spots Toronto opened up with the Grabner trade.
