I think you take the risk that the GM of the Krakens doesn't want to take on a 38 year old. Then if you're wrong, look at using that cap-space on a UFA who might bring in something comparable.

Yeah that wouldn't be my strategy going into this expansion draft. Seattle is going to want one of our good defensemen and I think Gio would absolutely be a piece they'd be interested in, especially if the alternative is what, Kylington?
It's also hard to find a defenseman of Gio's calibre out on the open market and since the Flames are clearly looking to not rebuild based on everything I've seen, the Flames will likely be a worser team without Gio. So, we'll have to see what happens I guess.
