Chris Johnston @reporterchris
Curtis Glencross waived his NTC to facilitate deal to #caps. Calgary gets a 2nd- and 3rd-pick coming back in return.
Craig Custance @CraigCustance
Flames tried hard to get Buffalo's third-round pick from Washington as part of that deal but it's the Capitals 3rd going back to Calgary
Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
The 2nd and 3rd round picks CGY gets from WSH in Glencross deal are 2015 draft. Trade call hasn't happened yet, though.

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger
Glencross traded to Washington.
Randy Sportak @SUNRandySportak
I was told a few times maybe a 3rd, but could be more RT @DarrenDreger: Sounds like a couple of picks for Glencross from Caps.
update 5:
Boomer says Glencross was asked to add the Caps to his list and he said yes
update 4:
Friedman on HNIC says the list is Anaheim, Tampa, Chicago, Nashville, and LA maybe more

Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
Treliving says Glencross has not demanded a trade, but discussions have been had about his future. #Flames
update 2:
Dean Molberg @fan960boomer
#Flames asked Glencross for a list of teams he'd join via trade. I'm hearing he's now asked to be dealt. Could be he's played his last game.
update:
Wes Gilbertson @SUNGilbertson
#Flames LW Curtis Glencross confirmed he's been asked to provide list of teams he would accept a trade to. Declined to say how many listed.

I don't think the contract talks are going anywhere.
There have been teams that have called about him. I believe Boston has at points. I believe Pittsburgh has at points. I believe Winnipeg has at points. I am not sure, I don't know how the Flames feel about doing with Winnipeg, a team they can see in the playoffs or a team that they are going to race against to the playoffs. I am not sure how they feel about that.
Glencross has protection, but I think he would probably be very happy to go to Anaheim if there is a match there - I am not convinced that there is.
I think we are getting to the point where he is going to say 'You know what.' He is going to have to consider opening it up his list or working together with the team on his list beause I was lookiing at his ice time last night. He is 4th among Calgary forwards, 16:52 this year. Since he got back from his injuries he has played 4 games - the most was 15:42 and the other 3 were just under 14 minutes.
You kind of see the writing on the wall. The Calgary Flames and Curtis Glencross have been great for eachother. It has been a marriage that has worked out pretty well, but sometimes it just runs its course and you have to look and say, 'OK. If you are Curtis Glencross and the Calgary Flames why don't you help each other. Curtis you have control over this. We will make sure you go to a place you want to go. Just can you help us facilitate who these teams are. We will help you if you help us'
You gotta think it is pretty close to happening.

4. The clock is ticking on Calgary forward Curtis Glencross. For the season, he is fourth among Flames’ forwards at 16:52 per game, but that changed once he returned from injury last week. His highest total since is 15:42, but three games were below 14 minutes.
Glencross has no-trade protection, but that hasn’t stopped the likes of Boston, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay (possibly) and Winnipeg from sniffing around at various points this season. No one is talking, but it doesn’t seem like contract talks are gaining traction. It is believed Glencross prefers Anaheim, but it would surprise no one if he works with the Flames to widen that list.
