He refuses to waive just to spite the team you simply either give him 4th line minutes for the rest of the year or healthy scratch him and give the minutes to guys in the Flames plans going ahead which would hurt his numbers and therefore his ability to negotiate a better deal come UFA. He would most certainly waive.
He wouldn't be the first guy to not waive. There is precedent. Families and life outside of hockey also come into the mix.

I've always thought that Glencross loves being an Albertan more than playing hockey. Not that there's anything wrong with that but from an asset management standpoint, I hope the Flames can get something good for him.
