For whatever reason, Shayne Gostisbehere’s name just can’t get away from trade rumors. Elliotte Friedman threw his name out there on his podcast back on April 18th, and Gostisbehere now finds himself fifth on The Fourth Period’s Top-30 Trade Watch List. All of this is purely speculation but with the talk swirling, what would be a plausible package to make the Philadelphia Flyers part ways with the offensive blue-liner?
First and foremost, I do not want General Manager Chuck Fletcher to move Ghost. Not one defenseman currently on the Flyers roster can put up the number Gostisbehere can on offense and parting ways with him would only make the team weaker, especially when considering Fletcher wants to add another vet to the defensive core.
