Rumors have it that the flyers are in on Glencross and willing to give up a defender to help flames d-man and skate along side Giordano
Where is this rumour?
Outside of a lateral-at-best return in terms of team needs, what message does that send to guys who actually WANT to be here?
Yeah, sign at a discount with a NTC because you love the place and want to keep your family here and you're committed to the organisation... Don't worry, even though we probably had a handshake deal to keep you here, we'll ask you to waive anyways.
Bush league **** is what that is.
Well the goals have changed since Glenny signed his contract. He's post apex....
But ultimately I agree that the Flames need to protect their image among players if they hope to become a competitor after rebuilding the core. Eventually they will pursue free agents
Uh he is only 30 he may be at the peak but not post apex at all.

One name the Flyers have been kicking around is winger Curtis Glencross, who has been playing on Calgary's first line. Glencross, 30, netted 26 points in 40 games last season. He has 24- and 26-goal seasons on his resume, he's consistent, and he's one of the few players on Calgary's roster to play a gritty game.
The Flames are desperate for a defenseman to play with Mark Giordano and the Flyers have a glut of high-priced blue-liners. Even without trading a defenseman, the Flyers could fit a player like Glencross' $2.55 million salary-cap hit on the books - if he were willing to move his no-trade clause.
Last week, the Flyers sent assistant general manager Ron Hextall and director of scouting Chris Pryor to Washington for Calgary's first game of the season. Head pro scout Dave Brown traveled to Columbus for Calgary's matchup the following night.
And a Flames representative was one of 13 scouts from Western Conference teams to show up last week at the Wells Fargo Center for the Flyers' opener.
Last night, Flyers scout John Chapman was in Calgary to see the Flames reopen the Saddledome. The Flames' East Coast scout, Steve Leach, along with three other teams' scouts, was in Carolina to take in the Flyers and Hurricanes last night
