When Burke was on the radio a few weeks ago (at the golf tournament, IIRC), he was asked if he was surprised that Glencross had to take a PTO. His response was along the lines of saying that things can change quickly in today's NHL, and if you don't take a contract offer when it's offered, it may not be there a second time.
From the way he said it, my inference is that the Flames made him an offer on an extension but he wanted to test free agency or thought he was worth more than the Flames were willing to pay him.
