Gio can be traded for assets (including ahl players) where an borderline NHLer will not gain much..
They can sign someone to play in the AHL if they need to, there are a bunch of players they can sign for that purpose, it's like a draft, you pick the best available player... that gets you further
If you were the Seattle GM would you rather do:
a) Pick a player that can get you NHL games and if traded get you some decent return
b) Pick someone in the expansion draft that you may not get anything back from or stay as a 6th/7th/AHL dman
I know which one I'd go with...
