Taking a 38 year old dman with no term who is in decline is a risk at best and a mistake at worst.
I suspect they may take a look at Parsons now that he is back and playing. He still has a hell of a pedigree and G is a spot that they will want a couple young guys developing.

Why would they take a 24 year old bust goalie over a player that at best helps them have a Vegas type year 1 or at worst is a player that will get a decent return as a rental at the deadline. Gio does not have a full NMC so it gives Seattle ample opportunity to shop him. Teams will likely pay a 1st+ at the deadline unless Gio falls off a cliff (which is an inaccurate narrative around here as he is still on pace for 42pts in a full season playing top pair minutes)
Makes absolutely no sense to take Parsons. Gio might get picked because he is the only decent option out there. Seattle needs to hit the cap floor and 1 year of Gio is a better gamble than Parsons or Kylington (who the entire league let pass through waivers already this year)
