Gostisbehere has fallen heavily. He was a healthy scratch multiple times in the playoffs. For 4.5M cap-hit, the Flyers should need to add to move him. They are a bit fortunate that he is paid 3.25M going forward but that's a hefty cap-hit for a healthy scratch.
With that said, if all other options fall through come UFA period, I wouldn't mind the Flames taking a flyer (teehee) on him for something along the lines of "future considerations". Flames do need someone who can rush from the backend and generate offense.
