Doesn’t make much sense really. They might as well take a good young player like Foote or Joseph and then charge tampa through the teeth to dump a contract in a later trade. Most teams aren’t too thrilled with tampa right now so nobody’s lining up to help them out unless they move up the lineup for guys they’re willing to trade (i.e. there’d be interest in palat, but not tyjo), and seattle obviously has the most cap room.
Edit: To clarify, they could do this as a trade, and maybe get more from Tampa. They shouldn’t let Tampa buy the expansion pick though
