He's a wealthy man, but much less so than he likely could have been. I'm sure he'll have a great time with his young family and I wish him luck in his future endeavors! Thank you for the efforts, Curtis.

I think hes a bit of a victim of both.
That being said, Glencross really is the face of an upcoming schism within the NHL.
With the inherent benefit of moving to faster, younger, hungrier and cheaper the guys in the middle will be squeezed out of the picture. If anything Glencross is one of lucky ones that can still go out on his own terms.
Other players may have to become AHL journeymen or ply their trade in Europe or Russia. Which isnt terrible. I know of a guy that got drafted but just couldnt ever make it anywhere near even getting a sniff of an NHL gig and hes been playing in Berlin for almost a long time now.
