The Philadelphia Flyers have a problem, but not necessarily a bad one. They have seven defensemen on the roster right now. Five of those seven appear to have permanent spots in the lineup right now.
When an injury knocked Shayne Gostisbehere out of the lineup, it allowed Robert Hagg to get consistent playing time. This is where the discussion took off. There’s no argument that Gostisbehere hasn’t looked the same since his breakout rookie season. But is there truth that a slumping Gostisbehere is better than Hagg? A little help from Corsica Hockey can help us decide if that is true.
