That would seem really odd to me. I would expect it to have more to do with Freddie's performance in Calgary. However, I do think that giving the Avs the room to sign Glencross probably had something to do with it. Seems like both teams were just fitting partners for this type of transaction.

Come on.. this is a business. If the Flames were so worried about Glencross getting a contract they'd give him one themselves. This has nothing to do with that.

Ultimately, you could be right, but it would be in spite of your faulty logic. The Flames have no room on this team for Glencross, but if he has room to make another team they may do a little to help that situation if they could. Saying "If they wanted to help him they'd sign him here" is kind of absurd.
You're right that hockey is a business, but like another poster mentioned, sometimes it's good business to help another team out if it works for you now and could lead to good business relations down the road. So if you can see that helping the Av's out by taking a contract (one that also benefits the Flames by making two brothers, one of which is an all star defensemen, happy) and helps a former player who gave so much to the organization and is now in a tough, slightly embarrassing situation, you do it.
This is a really a minor deal that's a win, win for both organizations, imo.

Perhaps it was all of this and...
"oh yeah, and we gave you a 2nd for Berra."

I could see Glencross being a great consequence and reason to do the deal, but not remotely close to the reason the deal was done in the first place. Won't know unless Treliving decides to explain things to the fans.
It's amazing how much potential good will Treliving may potentially collect from: Freddie, Dougie, Avs and Glencross though. Less likely on the latter two though. Furthermore, it could be a neat little locker room boost in the minors. Freddie might work extra hard for his shot to reunite with his bro. That's great juju and attitude to have in a locker room.
EDIT: Read a prospect write up that says Freddie is a defensive D with good IQ. Won't give you much in terms of points but is supposed to be a good locker room presence.

I don't disagree. More likely that the Avs called and said they want to sign Glencross but need to get rid of a contract, and would the Flames be interested in taking Freddie of their hands for a nominal price (conditional 7th). Flames just acquired Dougie, the acquisition cost is low, and while helping the Avs they get Dougie's older brother in the system. Actually works out for both teams. Then again....maybe it didn't happen that way. Who knows.

The Flames and Avs are in the same conference and could compete for a wild card position this year. They aren't going to pal around and give up contract spots to help the other out.

Good insurance move if they have to put Byron on waivers. Maybe it was in the works before Shore was waived as insurance as well.

I was once high on him. He's stuck in our forward depth but will help Stockton. May play a few games up here but idk if he's ready.

So...do the disgruntled Oilers ("We offered a 6th!!!") trade for Max now?

Now here's the Hamilton that I was hoping we'd end up with all along. After beginning to come to terms with the fact that we may have to settle with Dougie, this comes as an astounding surprise.

At the Prospects tournament, they said that Agostino also prefers Kenny.

He's a right shot like his brother but as a forward. We aren't exactly armed to the teeth with those. Gives Hathaway and Smith some competition on the right side in AHL.
