Yes, I don't understand this, decide to trade him talk. Glencross holds all the cards in this scenario. If he doesn't want to go, he doesn't have to. And with this being the last year of his contract, the whole Glencross won't want to play where he's not wanted argument for getting players to waive an NTC or NMC doesn't hold water. Glencross, also knows we are at the very least a slightly better team in the line up with him in it, so he really holds all the cards.
Best case scenario, he'd agree to waive only to a true true contender. Given we are in the mix, we won't trade to the West likely, so East only. Means we are going to get nothing for him because there will a very small list of teams. So then the argument becomes what is better for the Flames rebuild. Get a piss poor return for Glencross but at least we got something, or keep him and have him help make the playoff push and any potential "run" more competitive and therefore more beneficial for our young players development.
My hunch will be that the return for Glencross will be so low that having him around to try and keep us competitive for longer would be better for our rebuild.
