Flyers place Shayne Gostisbehere on waivers
The 27 year-old defenseman has two years left on a deal with a cap hit of $4.5 million. This once highly touted offensive rearguard scored 65 points in 78 games for the Flyers in 2017-18. However, his defensive issues have greatly overshadowed anything he brings to the table offensively. In 365 career games, Gostisbehere is a -30.
