While you make a good point in general, in the specific case of Tanner Glass, a guy hanging onto NHL employment by the skin of his teeth, losing a half step is the kiss of death.
There aren't too many career 4th line types that make it to 35 still playing in the NHL.
That's pretty much end of the road if you're a plugger.
