This is just BT using a useful idiot (LeBrun) to help Flames with the optics of losing Gio.
Seattle will want a lot to have Flames influence their pick (even if they were never going to take Gio). I doubt a 3rd would be enough. But this way BT can say he exhausted every avenue.
If Gio can catch a 1st at trade deadline then Seattle will want that now. They know the market as well as BT does.
