Burke isn't the GM so it doesn't matter. At this point I think they just flat out ask him if he'd be willing to waive. I agree that from that list he'd only want to go to the pens or ducks and I think they have the assets to get it done. Sure you need warriors for the playoffs but our management group has to weigh their options on if his help for the playoffs is worth what other teams would be willing to give up. I could really see Glencross waiving to play on the pens as it would inflate his stats if he were able to play in the top 6 and develops chemistry with Crosby or Malkin. The pens also have a lot of good young dmen that the Flames need. If Glencross is traded, I think we can shuffle the lines around and bring up someone who's earned a spot.

This is a great spot to be in for the Flames, they can trade Glencross if a team is willing to give us what we want or we keep him for a playoff run. Both are good options.
