Gio carries a big cap hit, but looking at the Panthers, they only have Duclair, Wennberg, and Forsling to re-sign in the offseason with about $15M in space and one of the best performing teams in the league.
Who knows, but an interesting potential landing spot.

I was thinking the same. He also brings playoff experience to a team that doesn't have a lot of it. Not sure how the LTIR relief works, but with ~$4 million in cap space and Ekblad with his $7.5 million cap hit, can't they exceed the cap by the difference until the start of next season?
Sure, it might require some maneuvering at that time, but that's tomorrow's problem. Right now, they have a pretty good window.
