I think lots of teams would want him, maybe not half the league but lots I'm guessing. I think the teams pushing to win now (philly is perfect example) would see him as one of the final pieces while young teams would want someone like him to mentor and anchor the D. Gio is a #1, Norris calibre, amazing captain defenseman, those don't come along that often. If he hit the market, I would understand if teams that aren't close to winning now would still go after him just because a player like that doesn't come along that often.

We'll never know who would be interested in signing him but I'm sure every team would want him.
