Dale Seaworth effect

Effect says

Response After Dale Seaworth enters play or leaves play, choose and return 1 Baratheon card from your discard pile to your hand.

Can i trigger its effect if i dont have any cards in discard pile to return him to my hand.

Thanks in advance.

No. You cannot trigger any effect whose resolution will not change the game state. See FAQ 3.6 for details.

In addition to what ktom is saying, he wouldn't be in the discard pile by the time you triggered his effect anyway. Also see moribund rules in the FAQ for more information.
