IMO only reason to expand his list is that a) Anaheim doesn't really want him b) Flames asked him to so they could try and create a bidding war in an attempt to increase Anaheim's offer
I suppose you could make a case that Treliving told him to expand his list or he would finish the season as a Flame, but who would want a malcontent on the team.

If the price isn't right, and he's quit on the team (and I'm not saying that either of these conditions are in place, let alone both), I'd rather scratch him than send him to the competition.
In a standard trade deadline scenario the player has no on-ice value to the selling team. That's why the "would you want the Flames to pay a first for a Glencross?" analogies don't really hold for me. Giving up a lot to a team for something that's worth nothing to them is what makes a lot of rentals rip-offs. That doesn't apply for the Flames and Glencross, because we can actually use him, and we don't want to play against him.
In that context, I don't like trading him for a 2nd-round pick. Rather have him around, or at least out of the way.
