If that’s true, Flames and Gio screwed up. They should have had Eric Francis interview Gio and have him say that he “might” retire if selected by Seattle because he wants to retire a Flame and doesn’t want to be used by Seattle at the trade deadline for an asset.
Whether it’s true or not, it would at least put some uncertainty into the decision for Seattle and give Treliving some leverage back in the negotiations.
