Rumour Has It: Glencross to Washington?
By Ryan Pike
9 years agoAs usual, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman dropped a few interesting nuggets of information in his 30 Thoughts column this morning. A handful of them related to Calgary’s Curtis Glencross and his status as we approach Monday’s trade deadline.
Per Friedman:
3. Keep an eye on Washington. GM Brian MacLellan
said last weekend he will not trade Mike Green for picks or prospects,
so barring a blockbuster (which the GM doesn’t see coming), Green will
finish the season in the American capital.The Capitals are all-in.MacLellan would not comment on anything else, but it’s believed they
will try to add another defenceman and it’s well-known they are chasing a
forward to play with Nicklas Backstrom and Alexander Ovechkin.
Ovechkin’s flexibility allows them to search for the best possible
addition, whether a right- or left-handed shot.4. Washington is not on Curtis Glencross’s original
list of teams he’d like to go to (Anaheim, Chicago, Los Angeles,
Nashville, and Tampa Bay), but the Capitals would be great for him if
that first line spot is available.The Los Angeles Times’ Lisa Dillman reported the Kings were not a
fit. It is possible, probably likely, Glencross expands his group. St.
Louis’s Doug Armstrong and Rob DiMaio attended Calgary/Rangers on
Tuesday. It wouldn’t be a stunner if they were watching him closely,
too.
Read the whole thing, obviously, as Friedman is always a great read, and the main feature is a discussion of last night’s Flames loss to the Rangers.
And to add fuel to the fire, former Calgary radio host Andrew Walker tweeted the following last night and this morning:
