Expansion teams ALWAYS go for toughness and Looch will still be one of the toughest guys around. Cap space shouldn't be that big a problem for Seattle.
It's funny, the better Looch plays, the higher the chance he could get taken, and the lower the chance he will waive.
A rejuvenated Looch could end up hurting this team more.
I'm not saying Seattle would take him, but his willingness to waive could decrease if he really enjoys it here.

I don't know what transpired prior to the trade with Edmonton, but there was speculation that having Lucic agree to waive his MNC would have been discussed prior to the trade being consummated.
Otherwise, it would have been hard to understand why BT would have agreed to the trade, at that point in time at least, as
that Lucic was not a guy that you would agree to take on a MNC
We'll find out, but Milan is a west coast kid, so being in Seattle to finish your career, isn't necessarily a bad thing...
