The Flyers dealt Shayne Gostisbehere to the Coyotes, along with a 2022 second-round pick and the 2022 seventh-round pick. In return, the Flyers got nothing, aside from the cap relief of $4.5 million this season and next, which is what was left on Gostisbehere's contract.
Fans were in question as to why ''Ghost'' was moved, and it made sense once the Flyers acquired defensemen Ryan Ellis... until, the organization realized Ellis needed not one, but two surgeries and is not returning this season, reports state he is likely to retire.
That burns, a lot. The Flyers also acquired Rasmus Ristolainen after the departure from Gostisbehere, Risto has missed the Flyers first six games of the season and is set to return Thursday, for his first of the year.
On the other hand, Shayne Gostisbehere is looking better then ever, leading the Arizona Coyotes in goals scored (keep in mind he is a defensemen), he also leads the Coyotes in time on ice, and leads the team in the shot category.
