Treliving has already talked about it in the media, about the possibility of making these deals to protect players, he even alluded to the draft picks acquired at the deadline as possibly having a use in the expansion draft. Now he hasn’t outright said that he would do it nor has he actually done it, but the fact it’s even being considered is stupid.
Just call Seattle on the bluff. Don’t give them any additional assets to protect anyone.
