NHL Trade Rumors: Shayne Gostisbehere to Montreal Canadiens

There are rumors that the relationship between the Philadelphia Flyers and their young defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere is strained. Gostisbehere is struggling with giveaways, and the Flyers have the worst goals-against in the league. Ghost’s ice time is on the decrease and he was healthy scratched recently.

Chuck Gormley, a reporter for the NHL, notes that the assistant GM of the Montreal Canadiens, Scott Mellanby, was at his second straight Philadelphia Flyers game to do some scouting. The Habs have said they need a left defenseman to play with Shea Weber. Look for the Canadiens to make a trade with the Flyers.
