I mentioned this previously but it seems more appropriate now since it might come to fruition soon, but it's my opinion that if Bennett was kept and exposed in the expansion draft, he would have certainly been Seattle's choice, thereby protecting Giordano from being picked. Feel free to disagree of course.
Having said that, if the trade return from the Rangers is more than 2nd rounder and mid-tier prospect, then the asset management here needs to be reviewed.
Again, that assumes Seattle would have picked Bennett, and there is no way to prove that, but I believe is certainly would have happened.
