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.
Like I said before, if BT spends a second round pick to protect a declining old D man with one year left at an almost $7M cap hit he should be fired immediately. That is inexcusable bad asset management.
