Second of all, the only teams that would be interested in Glencross would be contending teams, which means you are probably going to get picks back, which is really not what the Flames need at this point in their re-build, nevermind trying to get a piece for a playoff push. Thirdly, as has been mentioned, Glencross is probably not going to waive his nmc willingly. For him to even entertain it there would have to be some very compelling reason, which I can't even come up with.
All those things considered, it is very unlikely. CP better get used to the idea of seeing Glencross in the flaming C at least until the end of the year, which is a good thing. Dude can play and he can play tough minutes, which is exactly what you want going into a playoff push. He doesn't have to score goals the way he used to, he can contribute in plenty of other ways.

I'm still trying to figure out how dealing Glencross would be a blow to the Flames playoff chances. The team looked just fine when he was injured and out of the lineup in my opinion.
I'm fine with getting picks and/or prospects back. After all, this is still only year two of the rebuild.
