Some more quotes from Glencross today from Dreger:

Released from professional tryouts in Toronto and Colorado, Glencross isn't bitter; he understands the business side of the sport and says the evolution of the salary cap is partly to blame as depth players have become the easiest to squeeze.

"I think seven or eight guys will get the money and the rest will go to entry-level players or younger guys which will take the middle class out," Glencross told the Dreger Report.

The veteran forward and father of three will have to be patient, hopeful a job will surface in the weeks ahead after NHL GMs have had time to assess their teams and perhaps, discover a void Glencross might be able to fill.

The past seven months have been surreal for Glencross. The whirlwind began in March when he agreed to waive his no-trade clause to go to Washington, ending his time in Calgary - a city and organization him and his family love. With a four-year, $10-million dollar contract with the Flames about to expire, and the promise of potentially bigger riches on the unrestricted free agent market looming, the future looked bright. So what happened?

Glencross remains somewhat baffled. Sure, he's lost a step, but there was interest in the summer and a belief a lucrative offer from the Colorado Avalanche was in the works.

“I really thought I was going to sign with Colorado in the summer,” he said. “I spoke with Patrick Roy on the phone for almost an hour. He said they wanted to sign a d-man first, so I waited and waited and waited and there was nothing."
Nothing from the Avs and no sense another team was interested enough to provide anything more than a tryout offer.
