I was considering it from the Seattle side. If Bailey is exposed, do you take him? I think that is a really tough call.

Ah ok...yea it's a tough one. Probably depends on what other deals they can swing and for who.
He's a good top-nine option though and he's pretty versatile. But he'll be 32 and signed for another 3 years at a moderate cap hit (or a higher one, depending on what happens with the cap in the next few years).
I don't think that Seattle is going to get the same windfalls Vegas ended up getting though. I think teams in the league learned and are going to be a lot more cautious with who they either trade them or leave exposed. The fact that the Panthers gave them Marchessault so that they'd draft Smith is absolutely hilarious to me
