Lots of room for a guy like Glencross on a lot of teams, but he might be looking at a $1m-$2M contract, with not much term.
Hopefully he stays in the Pacific Division, so he can score on the Oilers 5+ times per season.
I'm betting he is as close to home as possible. If the Oil had any brains they'd sign him. Partly as a defensive measure because he's killed them in the past.
Vancouver is a candidate, and I imagine Sutter would like to have him in LA.
honestly I hope he saved some money because I don't think he will be in the NHL much longer. Personally he seems like a great guy but I think the game has passed him by at the NHL level.
It astounds me that the Oilers haven't signed him. He is exactly what they need - some grit, leadership and depth scoring. It would suck to see him in an Oilers jersey but from a hockey standpoint and personal standpoint for Curtis it makes total sense.
Maybe it's possible he's got a few solid offers on the table with teams that are maybe further from home than he would like and he's holding out for Edmonton or Vancouver? He's still a useful player that could help any team looking to bolster it's bottom 6 and occasionally fill in on the 2nd line.

he likely has offers but they are probably pretty low on dollars and term
that would make sense, since he is just the kind of experienced, gritty, bottom 6 player they need
Based on his play last year he wouldn't be remotely close to worth the contract he is likely demanding. If he was willing to take a 1 million or less 1 or 2 year deal I am sure Edmonton would have signed him by now.

Absolutely and it's probably him holding out as long as possible before making a decision on which team/location is best for him and his family. IMO if he picks the right team on a one year "show me" deal he could parlay it into a better contract the next offseason but it's a matter of going to a team where he feels he will get the ice time.
Anyone thinking the Sharks? They're on their way to a rebuild but they need some vets to flesh out the roster.
I also thought Winnipeg, in losing Frolik, could use an established winger with some offensive upside. But maybe they're making space for prospects.
The pursestrings might be too tight in Winnipeg, but Glencross is still a very serviceable and relatively inexpensive, productive NHL winger for probably at least a year or two.
I hate to say it, but I think hes asking too much, for the right dollars I'd think teams would be lining up to sign him.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
Huh? you're a dork. What do you want him asking him? The boring cliches?
The fact is Glencross is going through what thousands of regular folks are going through everyday and especially right now with our economy, kinda speaks for all.
How about you try listening to the interview before calling me the dork?
Steinburg is the worst interview in sports, time and time again he asks a question that has already been previously answered, I would bet he has some form of ADD because he never listens.
