I agree Steinberg needs work on his questioning in interviews. His questions are definatly pretty weak but I like the guy and hope he continues to work on it. I think your criticism is definatly valid though.

There's definitely TV and radio personalities who've been able to improve a lot from year to year. I hope Steiner can get there.
Kypreos sticks out for me. Weekes honorable mention, just because he was atrocious to start off. Can't get any worse LOL.
And some that spin their tires.
Healy, Stock and a few others.

He's earned $15.6 mil so far in his career, and also seems like a very down to earth, smart minded guy.
It's possible he could have spent millions upon millions on depreciating assets and luxuries, but to me he doesn't come across as the guy upgrading to the newest Ferrari each year and throwing millions away on whatever comes to his mind.
I picture him as the humble rancher type who likely put a few million into a nice Alberta ranch and an expensive vehicle or two, but otherwise saved and invested a large percentage of his earnings, and had a long term plan even at the beginning when he had only earned a couple mil.

hope so, sometimes when people expect a big windfall coming up they spend like drunken sailors....guy will be making a fraction of what he though he would be. Less than a year ago he was talking about not taking a home town discount afterall

Yeah, that's true, at around Christmas last year he was likely planning to basically double his entire career earnings this summer, at minimum.
I still think he's a humble, smart guy who has been financial responsible his whole way through life, but you certainly bring up a good point about what was expected vs what he's looking at now.

He is pretty much exactly as you describe. Although not humble by any means, he isn't a dick head.

Ouch if true. No one is even willing to give him a one year deal.

Honestly, I'm not overly surprised. He is a shade of his former self. This is my opinion of course.

I know he was terrible with Washington, but to not even get a 1 year contract seems a little weird. The main thing i am taking from this if true ,is that Mason Raymond, even at 50% eaten salary, is untradeable.

I think there are questions about attitude/consistency which is preventing a team from giving him a year without an audition.

You may be right on Raymond. That 3rd year on his contract is the problem.

Guys, Glencross went on the Fan to promote his very admirable charity event. Pat handled it with class, what was he supposed to do ambush him with a bunch of hard hitting questions on free agency? He asked just enough to stay respectful and that's fine. Steinberg isn't in a Michael Landsberg situation where he has the audience to get away with asking antagonizing deep cutting questions, it's 4:30 in the afternoon on the Fan.

If Semin can get a one year deal, then i would think Glencross could have gotten it also. I wonder if him and his agent asked for to much at the beginning and didn't back down until it was to late?

Folks, let's not get carried away - he said EKLUND said it.
But yes, it was a great trade by GMBT.

Is the Colorado Avalanche the boneyard for aging Calgary ex-vets??
Sarich, Tanguay, Iggy, Berra, now Glencross on a PTO.
