Flames Sign Curtis Glencross To Four-Year, $10.2M Deal

Earlier today, James O’Brien from NBC Sports reported that the Calgary Flames signed 28-year-0ld forward Curtis Glencross to a four-year, $10.2 million contract.

From nbcsports.com (James O’Brien):

That works out to a cap hit of $2.55 million per season, a considerable upgrade from his last contract of $1.2 million per year. If the salary cap is indeed $62.2 million, the Flames will have about $6.35 million in cap space going into the summer. Calgary currently has about $55.85 million devoted to 17 players, based on previous marks from CapGeek.com.While the 2010-11 season was a career year for Glencross with 43 total points, that career-high only bests his second highest mark by three points. The thing that made Glencross seem like a big potential loss was his red-hot finish, though. He scored 24 of his 43 points (and 12 of his 24 goals) in the 31 games following the All-Star Break as the Flames rode a hot post-Darryl Sutter run just a few strides short of a playoff berth.
