Truth is no one really knows what they are going to do. Yes, Vegas was/is an outlier but who says Seattle does not try and replicate.
Sign a UFA that is 50-50 to stay in league cause he is a home town guy ... sounds very familiar, wonder if that has happened before, oh yeah, Vegas did that exact thing with England.
Not to mention that Ryan has good 'fancy stats' which iirc Seattle values.
I think Seattle is going to be playing many games, even if they are targeting Ryan, they will be talking with BT about what if we were to take Gio and immediately flip (more worried about this than a deadline flip) him to try and get additional assets out of BT.
It will be interesting however it shakes out.

Flames are in a lose-lose situation. They should have dealt with this last year.
In a perfect world we would all be chill about who Seattle is taking because we already got rid of valuable assets when it was clear last season was a bust. Gio would have been a top deadline player with some salary retained. Now we lose him for nothing.
BT should be sitting on a boatload of picks now that he could draft players with or deal as currency.
