That is not how it works.
If the expansion team signs a UFA—all UFAs are unprotected—it counts as an expansion selection from the prior rights-holding team. The only way Seattle can “claim” one of the UFAs is to sign one—or both, and that would exempt the Flames from losing an unprotected player that is under contract.
