The third was low because that's the best offer the Hawks were offered. He's been shopped for some time.
From reading the Hawks boards, the Hawks made little attempt at re-signing him. Their biggest weakness is keeping the puck out of their own net, and he wasn't helping.
I expect Gustafson would re-sign with Calgary if they made any type of decent offer. But giving term to 5-6 d-men is a bad bet when you already have a number of cheaper, younger options like Calgary has.
