Technically there is still the Vancouver pick, only one selection lower than Washington's.
So, had Glencross not been traded, the Hamilton deal still would have gone through in the end. But the kicker here is that the Flames retain a 2nd and have an extra 3rd in this draft because of that Glencross deal, which makes giving up those picks for Hamilton a LOT more palatable.
