I just think from an asset equation it works out.
You should be able to get at least a 2nd for Gio at the trade deadline, and if you’re looking to make the playoffs this season it’s going to cost you more than a 2nd to replace what Gio brings on the blueline.
Not my preferred outcome either, but I think that’s the most likely outcome here. If Seattle is willing to do that for only a 3rd then great, but my gut is it will cost the 2nd and that Treliving will do that.
It’s costing at least a first to get them to take Lucic and I wouldn’t want any part of that. And if Seattle is asking for more than a second to not take Gio then you just let him go.
