Many players go through waivers and still become serviceable NHLers. Going through waivers at the end of training camp, which is what happened to Kylington, doesn't mean a player suddenly has zero value. It means that other teams can't find a roster spot for him, because they are busy trying to get their own older prospects through waivers at the same time.
The cost of picking up a player on waivers is having to put one of your own players on waivers in exchange.

They’re not prioritizing their farm team.

No, but some of the players they draft will end up on the farm team and they know it perfectly well. If they have a better use for Giordano's cap hit, they have a reason to take someone cheaper, that's all.

Even if they don’t want Gio at all, sure sounds like Treliving is prepared to give them something to select someone else. Can’t imagine they don’t take advantage of that.

Is he prepared to give them a first and a third? That's their reported price. It doesn't sound to me like there is any deal to be made.
