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...

I think it all depends on what other high-priced "big fish" Seattle takes. If they go a bit lean and younger then yes, I think taking Gio as a leader and mentor to the younger players makes sense. But, if they are going all-in and trying to make the playoffs and win a round or two then its likely they go with the more expensive options and I think Gio would be too expensive at his age. The question I guess is: is Kylington trash? or has he just not reached his potential yet? Something for Seattle to ponder I suppose...
